Try Cauliflower for Vitamin C

In this season of colds and flu, you may be like I am -- looking for any way possible to prevent illness through nutrition. And getting enough vitamin C is always in the back of my mind.

When I think vitamin C, I think citrus fruits, mango, kiwi, even strawberries. But cauliflower? Apparently so, according to Meredith Stanton of WebMD.

Just to satisfy my curiosity (and to double-check my information, as all good writers should!), I surfed on over to Calorie Count, one of my favorite sources of nutrition facts about all sorts of food. And wouldn't you know it, cauliflower is chock full of vitamin C.

Now that I am over my disbelief, I am excited to find a vegetable that is rich in vitamin C. I love options, and I love cruciferous veggies. I am even excited to try the recipe included in the WebMD article. How can you go wrong with a mustard and balsamic sauce over pasta and veggies?
