Which of the vegetables is part of the cabbage family?
The entire plant is edible, but only the tight head (usually a large round ball) is eaten.
Why do you grind the cabbage other than just stir it for the universal indicator?
Grinding the cabbage helps to break down the cell walls, which releases more of the pigments and compounds responsible for its color. This increases the concentration of the anthocyanins, making the extraction more effective. Stirring alone would not achieve the same level of pigment release, resulting in a less accurate or vibrant universal indicator. Thus, grinding enhances the extraction process, ensuring a better visual representation of pH changes.
Yes, cauliflower is good for you.
It is low in fat, high in dietary fiber, folate, water and vitamin C, possessing a very high nutritional density. It also contains several phytochemicals which are beneficial to human health, including sulforaphane, an anti-cancer compound released when cauliflower is chopped or chewed.
Boiling reduces the levels of anti-cancer compounds, with losses of 20-30% after five minutes, 40-50% after ten minutes, and 75% after thirty minutes. However, other preparation methods such as steaming, microwaving, and stir frying had no significant effect on the compounds.
Cauliflower is a source of indole-3 carbinol, a chemical which boosts DNA repair in cells and appears to block the growth of cancer cells. The compound also appears to work as an anti-estrogen, appearing to slow or prevent the growth of tumors of the breast and prostate.
Cauliflower also contains other glucosinolates besides sulfurophane, substances which may improve the liver's ability to detoxify carcinogenic substances.
A high intake of cauliflower has been found to reduce the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. Cauliflower is also a good source of carotenoids.

1: Select a variety known for producing large heads.
2: plant in organically rich, loose soil.
3: Make sure the soil's pH is about 7.5 - cabbage needs alkaline soil.
4: Use a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to directions but DON'T OVERFERTILIZE!
5: Keep well weeded, and grow it alone - not amongst other cabbages.
6: As it gets bigger, check it daily - when cabbages get large, they sometimes split and rot quickly.

What is wrong with the cabbage soup diet?
Yes, and it would also be very harmful. I assume a cabbage soup diet is one that consists entirely of cabbage soup. Cabbage soup alone is not a balanced diet, and long-term consumption of only cabbage soup will likely result in poor health due to vitamin, mineral and/or protein deficiencies. Additionally, you'll gain back whatever weight you lost if you return to a normal diet, perhaps gain even more weight if you over-eat after leaving the diet. In the end, you'd be better off if you had never started such a crazy scheme in the first place. Instead, remember that maintaining a healthy weight comes from sticking to healthy habits for life: a good diet and regular exercise. Consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and mononunsaturated fats. Avoid products with too much added sugars, fats, and salts. By doing so, you'll end up consuming nutritiously dense foods and vegetables which are not as calorically dense- you'll have to consume a greater mass of these products than processed foods to consume the same number of calories. So while you'll still feel full after a nutritiously rich meal of the above products, you will have consumed many fewer calories than a highly processed meal- and will have consumed more vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients. You'll lose weight while eating modestly large portions and consume a well balanced diet. Additionally, regular cardiovascular exercise is crucial. The American Heart Association recommends a MINIMUM of 30-60 minutes of exercise for EVERYONE, most days of the week. That's not just 30-60 minutes of schleping about, trudging around either, it's maintaining your heart rate at 50-80% of its maximum, which requires jogging, running and biking amongst other things. For those looking to lose weight, 60-90 minutes are recommended. A successful diet that allows one to maintain their desired weight must be done FOR LIFE.
