Cauliflower - The Magical Vegetable!
I think cauliflower is magical.
No, I’m not kidding. Ok, maybe a little. It’s not magical. But if you are on a low carbohydrate diet, it can be pretty amazing.
I
never really cared for cauliflower. Let’s be honest here. It looks odd
and smells terrible. Unless it’s doused with cheese, cauliflower is
barely palatable. But with a little work and imagination, it transforms
from this weird vegetable to something delicious and low carb. Hence,
magical.
First,
the stats. 4 ounces of cauliflower has 6 grams of carbohydrates,
roughly 3 grams of which are fiber (3 gm net carbs). By comparison, 4 oz
of broccoli has 4.5 net grams and 4 oz of asparagus has 2 net grams. 4
oz of sweet potato has more than 19 net grams.
Great, cauliflower is decidedly low carb. So is dirt. Where’s the magic? Here it comes:
