taxy, think you must have missed an earlier post of mine somewhere. 90% of the time I eat cauliflower raw. Just take the whole thing with me to watch TV and break off and nibble. Don't even use a dip.
BTW cauliflower soup is wonderful. I have made it and it does not taste like cabbage. Ditto broccoli soup. And they freeze very well.
Yup, broccoli is another I eat mostly raw. Especially the stems. When I buy them I choose for the stems rather than the heads.
Yes, I think I did miss your earlier post about eating cauliflower raw. I'm glad you brought it up again because I'm always looking for new and healthy ways to eat my vegetables. I've never tried eating cauliflower raw before, but I'm definitely going to give it a try. It sounds like a great way to get a quick and healthy snack.
I'm also a big fan of cauliflower soup. I've made it a few times and it's always been a hit. I love that it's so creamy and flavorful, and it's definitely not like cabbage at all. I've also made broccoli soup and it's just as good. I'm glad to hear that they both freeze well because I'm always looking for make-ahead meals.
I've never tried eating broccoli raw, but I'm intrigued by your suggestion to eat the stems. I usually just throw the stems away, but I'm going to try eating them next time. Thanks for the tip!
