Cauliflower contains beta-carotene, beta-crytoxhantin, quercetin, rutin, kaempferol, cinnamic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, choline, omega-3 fatty acid, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, protein, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B9, (folate), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E, vitamin K, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, and sodium.
Cauliflower contains sulforaphane that is a sulfur compound to kill cancer stem cells and slow the growth of tumor.It has a rich anti-inflammatory nutrients.Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is an anti-inflammatory compound that may operate at the genetic level to prevent the inflammatory responses at its foundational level.One serving of cauliflower provides 77 percent of daily vitamin C allowance.Cauliflower is extremely low in calorie, very low in carbohydrate and sugar.Cauliflower has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

According to The National Cancer Institute states that Indoles and isothiocyanates have been found to inhibit the development of cancer in several organs in rats and mice, includding the bladder, breast, colon, liver, lung, and stomach.
According to The World's Healthiest Food and Researchers have determined that The sulforaphane made from a glucosinolate, such as glucoraphanin in cauliflower can help in protecting the lining of the stomach.
According to The Linus Pauling Institute states that Cauliflower is a rich source of sulphur-containing glucosinolates to lower the risk of colorectal cancer and lung cancer.
Studies have demonstrated that cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower can inhibit effectively the development of chemically induced carcinogenesis that act as an anti-mutagen to halt tumor cells from further reproducing.
