hey guys today we’re gonna talk about

the ultimate keto food you got it

cauliflower now what’s cool about

cauliflower is its low carb and it

tastes like a potato

it’s very starchy but it doesn’t have

the starch in it with 1.4 grams of fiber

giving you a net carb of 1.2 grams so

one cup is like a little over one gram

of carbohydrates so it’s perfect now

there’s a couple additional things that

are really good about cauliflower that

go beyond just being low-carb it has a

lot of vitamins b1 b2 b3 b5 b6 b9 that’s

folate which is very very important it

has a lot of vitamin C vitamin E k1 a

lot of minerals trace minerals

especially manganese which is good as an

antioxidant and in addition to this it

has some pretty serious phytonutrients

in fact all the cruciferous vegetables

are high in phytonutrients now what are

phytonutrients a mainly act as

specialized antioxidants that help in

the turning on and turning off of

certain genes and the maintenance of

your DNA now there’s many different ways

you can prepare a cauliflower the one

that I like is the pizza crusts okay I’m

gonna put a link down below on a pizza

that is made with cauliflower crust it’s

really delicious

you can also get these at the store

kabosh is a company that sells

cauliflower crust this is what it looks

like right here and they have different

crust as well they have a spinach pizza

crust pumpkin zucchini crust for like a

dessert how about this one chocolate

zucchini crust and then we have our kale

pizza crust and just regular cauliflower

crust what’s really important when you

get a crust is to look on the label and

just make sure it has cauliflower in it

because sometimes they’ll slip in things

like tapioca starch or dextran and some

other things that are not keto friendly

kabosh is a good company there’s others

you can check them out I’ll put a link

down below and then we have our

cauliflower rice okay and you can get

this at any grocery store now it’s

becoming more popular and it tastes

almost

culture rice which is very starchy but

without the starch it’s all fiber so

this is a really good recipe I’ll put

some links down below of some additional

things you can check it out now one

thing to remember when you’re cooking

cauliflower is the more you cook it the

more nutrients you destroy three minutes

of boiling equals ten minutes of

steaming so if you were to steam it for

like five minutes

you would actually preserve a lot more

nutrients and even boiling it for you

know two minutes now the best way to

preserve your nutrients is just to saute

it and even though you cook it for a

long time you’re still getting some

nutrients but one big benefit is it’s a

low carb food and you also get the fiber

and sometimes when I go to certain

restaurants I will find that they will

have the entire head of the cauliflower

roasted with cheese on the menu and I’ll

order and I’ll pretty much eat the whole

thing anyway there’s a lot of ways to

care cauliflower I’m gonna put some

links down below check it out it’s the

ultimate keto food thanks for watching
