Boiled cauliflower simply seasoned with extra virgin olive oil is excellent and recommended as a winter side dish. You can also find cauliflower in purple color – want to know if there is any difference between them? To be honest, I didn’t notice any difference in taste (maybe because I cooked them together), but after some research, I found out that purple cauliflower is rich in anthocyanins, which are also found in blueberries and act as antioxidants, providing anti-inflammatory and anti-aging benefits. I did my research on Google.
