Kiboli is a word not familiar to many. If you live at the coast, you may have an idea. Kiboli, the Kiswahili name for cauliflower, falls under the superfood category due to its exceptional nutrient density. 

Here is something you may not have known; there are four types of cauliflower -- orange, green, purple and white which is commonly available. Cauliflower is high in fibre and B-vitamins. It provides antioxidants and phytonutrients that can protect against cancer. It also contains fibre to enhance weight loss and digestion and choline which is essential for learning and memory, in addition to other important nutrients. Low in calories about 25 calories per cup, one can eat a whole lot of cauliflower without fear of gaining weight.
