10 foods that prove what's in cauliflower
The trend towards "faux carb", which emerged a few years ago, has resulted in consumers increasingly replacing carbohydrate-rich products with nutritious and low-calorie vegetables. Instead of pasta, Courgetti or lasagna leaves made from butternut pumpkin, for example, are increasingly finding their place in dishes.

Once hated vegetables on the children's plate, cauliflower is now often called out of oblivion. No wonder, since it not only promises more versatility in the kitchen, but also provides a bundle of strong nutrients.
The trend potential of cauliflower has now also been recognised by food manufacturers. Especially for a low-carbohydrate and gluten-free or grain-free diet, the bright brain can be used in a variety of ways and opens up new opportunities for food retailers as well as for the catering industry.
