If it were my last meal on earth, I would probably include some sort of buffalo dish. These buffalo cauliflower bites are a new twist on your traditional chicken wings. Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable and it is recommended you get a minimum of ¾ cup serving size of cruciferous vegetables daily. Others include kale, broccoli, bok choy, and more! According to the World’s Healthiest Foods, “like most of its fellow cruciferous vegetables, cauliflower is also a very good source of manganese—a mineral antioxidant that is especially important in oxygen-related metabolism.” Cauliflower also comes in many different colors. Who would have thought you could taste the rainbow just by grabbing a different variety of cauliflower? Purple cauliflower has especially strong antioxidant capacity because it has a high concentration of anthocyanins. Do you have any other dip suggestions for this dish?
