'''Cauliflower''' is a vegetable belonging to the [[cabbage]] family. Besides the roots, it consists of a stalk and leaves supporting a large white head (known as the ''curd''). Of these, only the curd is commonly eaten.
The cauliflower curd is highly nutritious, and a single serving gives nearly the recommended daily value of Vitamin C for a standard diet<ref>[http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=13 World's Healthiest Foods: Cauliflower]</ref>.
