This is something that you may favor, a cabbage of a variety which bears a large immature flower head of small creamy-white flower buds known as cauliflower. The flower head of the cauliflower plant is eaten as a vegetable. The cauliflower heads sort of resembles broccoli, known basically as a ‘cabbage flower’. It can be boiled, fried, roasted, steamed, pickled or eaten raw. When cooked the outer leaves and stalk are usually removed, leaving the florets. The leaves are also edible but usually thrown away. Here Tracy Saelinger, Today.com, reflects on the subject:

“First, it was cauliflower rice that won over the hearts of low-carb food fans. Then came cauliflower pizza crust. So what carb will the veggie conquer next?

Gnocchi, apparently. Trader Joe’s, an early champion of cauliflower stand-in products, has recently unleashed cauliflower gnocchi on the world. So, of course, we had to try it out — and so did TODAY’s Megyn Kelly.

Traditionally, gnocchi — a tiny, pillow-shaped dumpling pasta that’s light and airy — is made from flour, potatoes and eggs.

First things first: where to find it. It’s in the frozen aisle at Trader Joe’s and it costs $2.69 for a 12-ounce bag (that’s 2.5 servings at 1 cup each).

So what’s in it? Cauliflower is the main ingredient, followed by cassava flour (a gluten-free flour made from the root vegetable), potato starch, extra virgin olive oil and sea salt.

A 1-cup serving clocks in at 140 calories and 3 grams of fat. Traditionally, since some recipes call for cheese, a serving of gnocchi can run between 150 to 370 calories, with anywhere from 1 to 11 grams of fat.”
