Brain Food

Cauliflower is one of only a few foods that contain choline, a micronutrient essential for a range of processes in your body — including boosting brain health and cognitive function.

Double the brain benefits of cauliflower by pairing it with turmeric, an ancient spice gaining popularity today for the positive effect it has on health and cognitive function.

Reduce Risk of Severe Health Issues

Cauliflower is part of a group of plants called cruciferous vegetables, which are believed to provide protection against some cancers, and increased vegetable intake in general is associated with lowered risk for cardiovascular disease.

Compounds found in cauliflower support healthy liver function, which helps to remove waste and detoxify your body.
