Cauliflower makes a great pizza crust because it takes on the taste of what it’s cooked with. Plus it’s good for you, with just one serving of cauliflower you’ll receive 77% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C. Cauliflower also contains sulforaphane, which has been shown to kill cancer stem cells, thereby slowing tumor growth. Strive for a healthy lifestyle and enjoy  your Cauliflower Crust Pizza!
