Cauliflower is a vegetable that has been a fundamental part of the diet in various cultures around the world. Originating from the Mediterranean region, its cultivation dates back thousands of years, and over time it has spread throughout Latin America, adapting to local culinary traditions. In many Latin American countries, cauliflower retains its original name, although in some places it is also colloquially known as "flower cabbage" or simply "white cabbage." This vegetable is valued for its versatility in the kitchen and for being an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. Its preparation can range from stews to salads and gratins, making it a delicious and nutritious side dish.
