I normally can’t stand cauliflower. I hate the smell of it cooking and whatever taste it has by itself doesn’t do much for me. However you can’t deny the health benefits this vegetable has and also the fact that it is one of the best foods for weight loss going around.

What makes cauliflower a one of the best foods for weight loss weight loss is that it is low in calories and high in nutrients. Cauliflower contains up to 80% of your daily vitamin C intake and are also high in fibre which will help fill you up without adding a lot of extra calories. The high fibre content of cauliflower will help slow the digestion process meaning you will burn more calories during as your body is converting the cauliflower into energy.
