This lovely chowder is delicious, hardy and simple to make. We eat a lot of cauliflower in our house. It’s low in fat, low in carbohydrates but high in dietary fiber, folate, water, and vitamin C, possessing a high nutritional density.
Cauliflower contains several phytochemicals, common in the cabbage family, that may be beneficial to human health.
When preparing cauliflower cooking methods are very important. Try not to over cook it and avoid boiling it too much. It looses all the good stuff the longer you boil it. (with losses of 20% after 10 minutes)
