Nutrition note

In addition to being an excellent supply of choline for cell energy and a wealth of B vitamins, including B6 and folate, cauliflower is also a fantastic source of fiber to support a baby's digestive health. Cauliflower, like other cruciferous vegetables, contains a respectable quantity of vitamin C, which aids in the body's absorption of iron, an essential component at this point in life. Along with providing vitamin K for healthy blood, it is also a rich source of phytochemicals, which promote a baby's general growth.
