Ingredients:

• 1 medium head cauliflower, trimmed of green parts

• 2 TBS rice vinegar, or fresh lemon juice
• 1 TBS honey

• salt and white pepper to taste
• 1/2 TBS chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Cut cauliflower florets into quarters and let sit for at least 5 minutes to enhance their health-promoting properties.
2. Heat broth in large stainless steel skillet. When broth begins to steam, add cauliflower and cover. Healthy sauté for 5 minutes.

Healthy Food Tip

Why should I include seafood in my diet?

As you know, our emphasis at the World's Healthiest Foods is on consumption of delicious-tasting, whole, natural foods that have traditionally been used in cuisines worldwide. Seafood (including fish and shellfish) certainly fall into this category and have always been prized foods in many cultural traditions throughout the world.
From a nutritional standpoint, fish and shellfish have many strong points. They are excellent sources of protein. For example, a 4-ounce serving can provide about one-half day's worth of high-quality protein for most healthy adults. While excellent sources of protein, as a group they are also unusually low sources of fat. When they do provide us with larger amounts of fat, fish and shellfish can also be unusual in providing us with relatively high amounts of omega-3 fats, selenium, and vitamin B12 and relatively small amounts of saturated fat.
