Cauliflower is a vegetable from the cruciferous family, just like cabbage, broccoli or kale. Cruciferous vegetables are extremely rich in highly assimilable calcium : one serving provides as much as a glass of milk! They are also an excellent source of vitamin K, potassium and magnesium.
Butternut is an excellent source of beta-carotene or provitamin A as well as antioxidant vitamins C and E. It also provides lycopene, the same antioxidant pigment as tomatoes, and several B vitamins (B2 and B6 and folic acid). Among its minerals are potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and zinc .
