If you've never had cauliflower you don't know what you're missing. Cauliflower can be eaten raw or cooked. It tastes milder than broccoli but definitely has a sweet cabbage-like flavor with nutty undertones. Raw cauliflower florets are great for scooping up dips too! Pack a cup of fresh cauliflower for a low carb snack or as part of your lunch.
10 florets of raw cauliflower contain 15 calories, 5g carbs, 2.5g fiber, so the net carb count is only 2.5g.
Frozen cauliflower retains its nutritional value and makes some recipes very convenient. I was quite surprised that the flavor was not affected. So if you don't have time to fuss with fresh cauliflower, buy the frozen kind.
By the way, leftover cooked or raw cauliflower is a great addition to a vegetable soup or salad.
