Why eat cauliflower?

Cauliflower is part of the cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli or cabbage, they have this name since they have cruciform stems. Each of these has a rather striking shape and color, either white, purple, green, or light orange.

Cauliflower fritters

Some people are afraid of eating it since cauliflower heads are very compact; they can have small insects or fungi inside them; however, with a good wash, they can eliminate. For this, it could consider removing brown spots from this vegetable, cutting these parts with a knife to remove harmful pesticides and insects can be taken to a bowl with salt and ice water and leave it there for 10 minutes.

If this plant consumed regularly, our body could receive the high value of vitamin C, vitamin K, protein, magnesium, phosphorus and fiber, folic acid, pantothenic acid, among others. As you can see, it is quite nutritious added to the fact that it contains high amounts of water, which makes it a diuretic food.

What should I consider to prepare cauliflower fritters?

In preparation, it is essential to cook the cauliflower; when draining, it removes the water very well so that the cakes are not pasty.

In this case, it must be cooked traditionally and then put in a colander to drain and then crush it, but in my recipe, I choose to grate it before cooking it so that when removing, it is more comfortable.

As for the cooking of this, it would be ideal to do it in the microwave because it loses less nutritional properties, although if it steamed for a short time, it would be a similar process.
