Let’s Talk About: The Benefits of Cruciferous Vegetables with Cali’flour Foods

Do you know about the importance of eating cruciferous vegetables? I learned early on into my breast cancer journey the importance of incorporating cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower into my diet to regulate my hormones. Cruciferous Vegetables can also include cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and similar green leaf vegetables. But why are they so important to our health?

 

 

Cruciferous vegetables are low in calories and are rich in folate, vitamins C, E, and K, and fiber! And they are linked to reduce heart disease and cancer. Cruciferous vegetables uniquely contain health-promoting phytonutrients that have been shown to help prevent the onset and halt the progression of colon, breast, prostate, thyroid, cervical, and other cancers. Thus I’m on a mission to include them in my meals as much as possible! So that is one reason I love California based, woman owned frozen pizzas from Cali’flour Foods that have a cauliflower crust!! Plus my kids love it and it helps them eat vegetables without even knowing it! Talk about a mom win! 

 

 

“After being diagnosed with Lupus, I came to appreciate how important mindful eating is to our individual well being. But as any mom knows, sacrificing taste is not an option when it comes to family meals. I was determined to create a wholesome but delicious alternative to my loved ones’ favorite Friday night indulgence. After months in my home kitchen, I preferred a cauliflower pizza crust recipe that even the pickiest eater enjoyed. With that, pizza was back on the menu, and Cali’flour Foods was born!” – Amy, owner/founder of Cali’flour Foods

 

 

Like most busy moms, finding a quick, easy, and healthy dinner that is adult friendly and kid approved can be difficult. But did you know that Cali’flour Foods frozen pizzas are ready in 15 minutes or less and are low carb, gluten-free, and grain free!

And here’s a park – each frozen pizza is only 7-8 carbs per serving and only 260 calories or less per serving! And they are packed with 18g or more protein per serving! And the entire pizza is only two servings!

 

 

Most competitors use dehydrated cauliflower powder or powdered cauliflower and/or just florets but Cali’flour Foods frozen pizzas are made with a WHOLE head of cauliflower to make the crust! They use fresh ingredients and never any unnecessary additives or fillers! Another mom win!
