Before telling you what is broccoli beetroot curry, I would like to explain why did i select beetroot and Broccoli as vegetables for this curry. Beetroot, also known as the table beet, garden beet, cukundar, betavulgaris, red beet or informally simply as beet. Beet root can be eaten as raw or in salad with a dressing of mustard oil or vinegar. Beet root is used to cure anemia due to its richness in Vitamins A, C and iron and calcium. Its used to increase the stamina of the body. Modern research says that drinking 1 glass beetroot juice improves the energy levels, hair growth and healthy skin. Broccoli (Green cauliflower) has a large green flower heads, which is rich in fiber, carotenoids, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K , also popularly known natural medicine for stomach and colon cancers. Beetroot Broccoli Sabji is prepared from the mixture of healthy beetroot and broccoli with the flavor of Indian exotic spices.

Cauliflower nutrition facts

Packed with rich nutrients, cauliflower or cabbage flower is one of the commonly used flower-vegetable. The flower heads contain numerous health benefiting phtyo-nutrients such as indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane etc., that help prevent prostate, ovarian and cervical cancers.

Botanically, it is a member of the cruciferous or brassicaceae family. It has got a similar nutritional and phyto-chemistry profile with broccoli and cabbage. Several cultivars exist other than common snow-white variety, including green, orange, purple, and romanesco heads.

Like broccoli, cauliflower too is made up of tightly clustered florets that are begun to form but stopped at bud stage. This cool-season vegetable prefers fertile rich adequate moisture in the soil to flourish.

To keep the flower heads creamy white, they should be protected from sunlight. This is done by tying the close-by leaves together over the heads when the heads are the size of a quarter. Over-maturity makes the heads get loose and grainy surfaced, and lose much of their flavor and tenderness.

Cauliflower Cheddar Soup by goblinbox_(queen_of_ad_hoc_bento)

...there was a cauliflower in the fridge that needed to be eaten. So then there was soup.

Cauliflower Cheddar Soup

1 Tbsp. butter

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 small onion, diced

1 stalk celery, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

6 cups water

bouillon for two cups of water (I used a cube of Knorr)

2 small (or 1 medium) potatoes, peeled and chopped

1 cauliflower, broken into flowerettes

1 bay leaf

1/4 tsp. thyme

1/2 c. cream

3 oz. grated medium cheddar

2 oz. American cheese, diced

1/4 - 1/2 tsp. paprika

salt and pepper, to taste

Heat oil and butter in a stock pot. Add onion, celery, and garlic and sautée until tender.

Add water, bouillon cube, potato, cauliflower, bay and thyme, and simmer until vegetables are very tender.

Remove from heat. Remove the bay leaf and purée the soup with an immersion blender.

Return to low heat. Stir in cream. Stir in cheeses and paprika until incorporated. You can use the immersion blender again if it helps. Remember not to boil the soup at this point, as the cheese will separate if boiled.

Adjust seasonings -- I think I threw in a teaspoon of salt and several enthusiastic turns of the pepper grinder -- and serve hot.

Romesco Cauliflower

- sea scallop. scallop chip, sauce

I don't know where to start with this plate ... It was not a sensation I can describe, but a feeling I am glad I have experienced. There seemingly wasn't a flavor or a texture this dish did not have.

My sister asked what was the chip made from - the answer was "scallop"; she couldn't believe it and asked again - and was assured it was made from scallop. How they made a scallop crunchy is still beyond me.

Please take a look at the entire Agapé Substance picture set.

1 head cauliflower

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 quart low-sodium chicken stock

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Remove the leaves and thick core from the cauliflower, coarsely chop, and reserve.

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook until softened, but not browned, about 5 minutes.

Add the cauliflower and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the cauliflower is very soft and falling apart, about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat and, using a hand held immersion blender, puree the soup, or puree in small batches in a blender and return it to the pot.

Add the Parmesan and stir until smooth.

Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Adapted from Chocolate Covered Katie, this dark, dense chocolate fudge cake is almost like a brownie in consistency. You'd never suspect anything healthy was tucked inside either, but surprise! Whole wheat and vegetables both find a home in each and every slice.

My wife was cutting up some cauliflower the other evening and I asked her to wait before cutting any further. I inverted a dinner plate, set the cauliflower on it and shot away. This was under ambient light in the kitchen with a darker living room in the background.

I never knew cauliflower grew on trees. :-)

Cauliflower Geyser (2020) by James St. John

Geysers are hot springs that episodically erupt columns of water. They occur in few places on Earth. The highest concentration of geysers anywhere is at the Yellowstone Hotspot Volcano in northwestern Wyoming, USA.

Cauliflower Geyser is located in the eastern part of the Upper Geyser Basin's Old Road Group, southeast of the Biscuit Basin parking lot. The geyser consists of a ~22 meter-diameter, subcircular geyserite platform with an irregularly-shaped, ~7 meter-diameter vent positioned south of the platform center. Runoff channels drain to the northeast and to the west. Eruptions are relatively brief, ranging from about 1.5 minutes to ~4 minutes long. Observed 2014 to 2020 eruption intervals were about 40 minutes (ranging from 36 to 48). Between eruptions, water levels are below the cauliflower-like, scalloped, projecting geyserite border. The water level slowly rises as an eruption nears. Pre-play consists of 9 to 11 minutes of pool roiling and bubbling. Eruptions start with flooding of the geyserite platform surrounding the vent, usually followed by about 2 minutes worth of intermittent, low to moderately low, roiling splashes. Larger bursts are uncommon to rare.

Filmed from the Artemisia Trail (= Old Road Trail).
