Why is Cauliflower white?

 

      As a child i use to think that cauliflower was the most nasty's vegetable but it is actually better for you if you eat cauliflower instead of broccoli. Broccoli and cauliflower are in the same vegetable family, they are actually the same vegetables but two different colors. Scientist say that cauliflower is one of the cruciferous vegetable. Also, they say the lack of exposure to sunlight does not allow chlorophyll to develop. Which means that's the cauliflower is more likely to stay one color due to the lack of sunlight.The color is not produced so the white color remains the same. Cauliflower is also a good source of vitamin C.

    Cauliflower and broccoli are both in the cabbage family. They might be appear to look the same, but they have different amount of nutrients and they have different calorie contents. Both cauliflower and broccoli are high-fiber, low-calorie vegetables, but cauliflower has a slightly lower energy density. Cauliflower and broccoli have different amount of spectrum of minerals.The both are high in sulfur containing called glucosinolates. It also give a people a less chance of having cancer.
