Cauliflower stalks are the firm, crunchy stems that support the cauliflower florets, often overlooked but packed with nutrients and culinary potential. As part of the Brassica family, cauliflower stalks have origins in Mediterranean cuisine, where the entire vegetable is valued. They are an excellent source of fiber, aiding digestion, and contain vitamins C and K, which support immune function and bone health. Additionally, they offer small amounts of potassium, folate, and antioxidants that promote overall wellness. Low in calories and high in water content, they make a great addition to soups, stir-fries, or can be roasted for a nutritious snack. While generally healthy, cauliflower stalks contain dietary oxalates, which may be a concern for individuals prone to kidney stones if consumed in excess. Their mild flavor and versatility make them a sustainable option, reducing food waste and maximizing the use of this nutrient-rich vegetable.
