CauliflowerCauliflower is being called the new ‘kale’ this year and being hailed as THE new superfood by some food experts. For South Asians, ‘gobi’ as it’s called has always been a staple in a menu.  It’s known to soak up flavours better than some other vegetables so maybe that’s one of the reasons for its delicious taste. According to some resources,  cauliflower is one of the most used winter vegetables in India. In fact, the country alone, produces 4.694 tonnes of cauliflower per year. The major cauliflower producing states are Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Maharashtra, Haryana, Orissa, and Bihar, as well as West Bengal.

It’s also known to pack a punch when it comes to nutrition with vitamins A, B and C, as well as being protein and mineral-rich. With the cold weather showing no sign of letting up, what better way to get your nutrition than with a hot cuppa Cauliflower soup. Warm up and stay healthy with this great recipe from Pataks Canada!
