I've been looking for months for a healthy broccoli sub. Do you have a purple sprouting broccoli recipe too? I'd love to get that.0

Why do you have to dye it green? Why can't you just eat the cauliflower? Am I stupid?0

Then it wouldn't be a very good substitute for broccoli would it?0 -
OP,
I have a question...
I make my cauliflower out of homemade pizza crust dough because homemaker is better than store bought anything.
Will the technique change?
What if I want to make broccoli cheese soup with it?0 -
My little boy claims broccoli and cauliflower are the same thing, just that cauliflower was scared when it was picked and that is why it is white.0

This post inspired me. I decided to utilize the cauliflower as a meat substitute and dyed in brown. Unfortunately it resembled well...use your imagination and I did not find it appetizing.0

Do you have a recipe for organic green dye? I feel like it wouldn't really be healthy otherwise. You know what they say about yellow #5...0

There was a big news story recently about how some cruciferous vegetables eaten in excess can cause hypothyroidism. The article specifically mentioned kale and reported people who regularly ate pounds of the stuff a day. I can't imagine how that would even by possible except by juicing.
I don't imagine that eating normal amounts of kale or broccoli is going to cause a problem. And for the record, cauliflower is in the same family of plants, so it's still a cruciferous veggie.0 -

And the others laughed at me for making my cauliflower out of bread.
Look who's laughing now! :laugh:0 -

So...
1. Yup - what she said - everything in moderation
2. My husband says that cauliflower tastes like butterfly wings (apparently, he tested this a a child) so this would not be a good idea.
3. Smarty pants botanist in me: Broccoli and Cauliflower are the same species (along with kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kohlrabi)
4. I can only assume broccoli is better than funyuns0 -
If I were to juice healthy 'broccoli' and add it to water, can I count it in my water intake?0
