Don’t Throw Away the Cauliflower Leaves, They Are Healthy and Delicious.
Have you ever ripped off the leaves surrounding a cauliflower head just to get a little disappointed in what’s left? Throwing away all this plant matter may seem dull, but it doesn’t have to; you can eat this instead.
Instead of throwing away or composting your cauliflower leaves, simply chop them up and sauté or sauté along with the rest of the vegetables. Need some recipe inspiration?
