JAKARTA - Kol flowers are crossed vegetables, and their family members include Brussels cabbage, broccoli, and cabbage. Kolflower is also rich in nutrients that provide unique benefits, such as fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and kolin.

These traits give you a good reason to eat it often or even every day. Written by the Eating Well page, reported by ANTARA, dietist, cancer nutrition specialist, and author of the Washington-based Sugar Doesn't, Nichole Andrews, RDN says that one of the biggest benefits is creating healthy gut microbiomes, which is important for digestion, nutritional absorption, and immune function.

"Having a healthy gut microbiome is very important for your overall well-being, not to mention reducing the risk of colon cancer," Andrews said.

Fiber also improves digestive health and helps you defecate regularly. Collines are getting more and more attractive to consumers, especially because of the increasing consumption of plant foods. Another thing that makes popular cauliflower likely be potential properties against cancer. Collisary flowers contain compounds such as sulforaphane and glukosinolate, whose anti-cancer effects have been investigated.

These compounds are shown to support the process of detoxification in the body, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and even induce apoptosis, or cell death, in cancer cells, Andrews said.

Thanks to its high fiber content and the same compound that can help prevent cancer, cauliflower can also provide encouragement to your heart by lowering cholesterol levels, reducing inflammation and supporting overall heart health, Andrews said.

It is undeniable that cauliflower is a nutritious food. However, for many people, this can cause some unwanted side effects and may even need to be limited if you have certain health problems.

"If you haven't consumed cauliflower regularly, take it slowly first and eat it in small amounts as a start," said a dietist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and regenerative Health writer Kristin Kirkpatrick, RD. When the body is used to cauliflower, you will realize that the gas you have is less. Cooking cauliflower can also make it easier to digest. In addition, cauliflower can also increase the risk of kidney stones and allergic reactions to food.

Diet guidelines for Americans recommend adults to consume at least 28 to 34 grams of fiber every day, depending on age and gender. One cup of cauliflower contains about 2 grams of fiber.
