Cauliflower Biscuits
This week’s episode is all about cauliflower! There are so many great things you get when you eat cauliflower. Here are some of the health benefits:
Cauliflower has a group of substances known as glucosinolates.
-As you chew and digest it, glucosinolates in cauliflower are broken down into compounds that may help prevent cancer -- they help protect cells from damage and have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial effects.
Cauliflower is a good source of antioxidants.
-Vitamins C and K are antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals before they can cause damage to healthy cells and contribute to diseases like heart disease, arthritis, chronic inflammation, and cancer.
Cauliflower may be good for heart health.
-Sulforaphane, an antioxidant compound in cauliflower, is associated with strong blood vessels and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
Cauliflower is high in choline, an essential nutrient that many people do not get enough of.
-Choline is also involved in brain development and the production of neurotransmitters that are necessary for a healthy nervous system.

*These are awesome! I used white cheddar cheese and egg whites and they turned out so well. Definitely not the consistency of a biscuit, but super flavorful!
