Cauliflower Vs. Broccoli

With the plethora of vegetables that are available to us in the produce department, I've done lots of research when it comes to picking out the right types of  vegetables based on their nutrient values. Both broccoli and cauliflower are two similar vegetables that come from the variations of a wild mustard plant. Through selective breeding the wild mustard plant was domesticated to create these variations of the plant. As they are both cultivated from the same plant, both these vegetables are low in carbohydrates and calories and high in fiber. Both contain many minerals, amino acids, folate and seem to be optimal for those aiming for weight loss. Although all vegetables are good for you, broccoli contains more vitamins than the cauliflower. When looking at both vegetables the first thing you can notice is the difference in color between the two, and although both of them have similar shapes and florets, the broccoli florets are more wide spread throughout the stem.
