Let’s face it: We need to get better at roaming the inside aisles at the grocery store. We all know that packaged foods are convenient and easy, but they do not provide our bodies with what our bodies naturally crave. I challenge you to spend 15 minutes in the kitchen making this healthy alternative! Try this delicious, brain boosting alternative to popcorn any day!
Cauliflower is a wonder veggie by it’s brain boosting ability! Being a great source of choline, it has the ability to boost cognitive brain function, leading to improved learning and memory. Cauliflower is also loaded with vitamins and minerals. For instance, one serving of cauliflower provides a whopping 77% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C! This dynamic cruciferous veggie is also a great anti-inflammatory. What’s even better, is that this particular nutrient called indole-3-carbinol or I3C works at the genetic level to help inflammation responses low.
