Happy National Nutrition Month! Today we are spotlighting the benefits of cauliflower!

· Packed with Vitamin C for a healthy immune system and Vitamin K for bone health and healing.
· Folate and Vitamin B are high in cauliflower. These B Vitamins are needed for growth, development, and energy.
· How to serve: Cauliflower is great steamed or roasted on its own. If you have a food processor you can use it to make cauliflower “rice” for recipes or serve as a side.

Cauliflower can be purchased with WIC benefits. Learn more about your local Genesee County WIC office at the link in the comments.
