    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?

    this confuses me greatly. it's like cauliflower inception or something... :huh:

    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...

    Head of broccoli
    water
    saucepan

    Boil head of broccoli for 30 mins. Throw out head of broccoli, keep green water. Boom, son!

    Organic green dye.

    I tried it and it was a big freakin' mess.
    And now I'm obese.


    Thanks, OP. :angry:

    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.

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

    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 funyuns

    If I were to juice healthy 'broccoli' and add it to water, can I count it in my water intake?
