DIY: Easy Fermented Cauliflower Print 11 LikeDislike By hillary bergh Cauliflower has so many nutritional benefits, but with my thyroid condition, I need to be aware of consuming vegetables from the brassica family. I thought to myself, what if I use fermentation to make cauliflower more thyroid-friendly? It worked! And I gain the benefits of eating fermented foods as well as not adversely affecting my thyroid. This fermented cauliflower is so easy to make and you can add a variety of spices such as Superfood Turmeric which is a delicious blend of 7 anti-inflammatory and gut friendly superfoods like turmeric, ginger and cloves.
