Cauliflower is a very good source of vitamin C and manganese, which are both powerful antioxidants. Cauliflower also contains carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, and phytonutrients that include kaempferol, ferulic acid, cinnamic acid, and caffeic acid. Cauliflower contains high amounts of vitamin K and omega-3 fatty acids, which help decrease inflammation. Other anti-inflammatory substances in cauliflower include glucosinolates (such as glucoraphin) and isothiocyanates (such as isothiocyanate sulforaphane). Cauliflower contains fiber and the glucoraphin protects the stomach lining from ulcers and cancer. Cauliflower also contains vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, and B9 (folate). It serves as a good source of protein, phosphorus and potassium.
