Some cruciferous vegetables, like cauliflowers, have high amounts of antioxidant nutrients that help to provide a detoxifying effect. Cauliflower is not only high in antioxidants which fight cancer, keep your heart healthy, and boost your immune system, but it is one of the most fiber-rich veggies you can enjoy. Fiber is an excellent way to aid in a detox, and cauliflowers are brimming with it. Onion and rosemary provide beautiful flavor without excess calories, letting cauliflower take the spotlight in this detoxifying and delicious soup recipe.
