Cauliflower calories and nutrition facts

Cauliflower's blandness turned out to be its superpower: it stands in for rice, mash and pizza base at a tenth of the calories, because it is 92% water. Roasting browns it into something genuinely worth eating on its own. A whole cup costs about 27 calories — the cheese sauce is a separate conversation.
