A few years ago, kale was described as a superfood and quickly became a go-to for health-conscious customers. It can be baked into chips, mixed into smoothies and even sautéed and made into pesto. Its powerful nutrients have kept people coming back for more — until now.
This year, a staple of the veggie tray is stealing the spotlight as people take notice of the once-neglected cauliflower. Just like kale, cauliflower is packed with vitamins and low in calories. Its ability to replace carbohydrates in popular dishes like pizza, macaroni and cheese, rice and even chocolate cake has moved this formerly overlooked veggie to the main ingredient in many recipes. Its low water content makes it ideal for grilling, frying, caramelizing and sautéing. Perfect for consumers who are following a low-carb, plant-based or gluten-free diet, cauliflower is an easy and tasty option to put some favorite flavors back on the table.
