Cauliflower is not only a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and detoxifying substances your body needs, but it also contains choline. Why does this excite me? Choline is needed for healthy cell membranes, making DNA, brain development, and production of neurotransmitters [think "happy hormones".]
Have you ever tried the amazing charred cauliflower dish at True Food Kitchen? My husband and I had it several years ago, and I immediately went to the store to try my hand at recreation.

1 large head [or 2 smaller heads] organic cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tbsp organic EVOO
1 tsp sea salt
¼ cup organic roasted red pepper
½ tsp red pepper flakes, ground
¼ tsp smoked paprika
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 lemon, juiced
3 tbsp organic tahini
2 tbsp mint, chopped
