Steamed Cauliflower—A Good Source of Vitamin C.

Cooks' Note

For optimum nutrition and to achieve the lowest blood sugar stimulating (glycemic) result, vegetables like cauliflower should be eaten raw. The flavor of raw vegetables still can be enhanced by a sprinkling of the previously mentioned seasonings.
