Now let’s take a look at cauliflower. Although broccoli is loaded with more nutrients, there are still plenty of reasons to pile cauliflower on your plate. Here are some of its health benefits.
Contains Anti-Cancer Compounds
Similar to broccoli, cauliflower is packed with glucosinolates and thiocyanates, such as sulforaphane, which can help liver enzymes eliminate carcinogens.
In a review published in the journal Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology in 1999, researchers observed six cohort studies and 74 case-control studies regarding the anti-cancer effects of Brassica vegetables, including Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, and cauliflower. In 64% of the case-control studies, there was an association between Brassica vegetable consumption and a lower cancer risk.
