Cauliflower, like broccoli and cabbage, belongs to the cruciferous (Brassicaceae) family of vegetables, which has been shown to be effective in fighting certain forms of cancer. Cauliflower is so closely related to broccoli that both are designated as the same variety of the cruciferous family, which not only share wonderful phytochemicals such as glucosinolates, but also contain the nutritive values of vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin C, calcium, iron, phosphorous, and fat to help fight diseases (132). Cauliflower has a wide variety of uses directly as a vegetable or as an ingredient in salads, soups, and condiment.
Effects of Food Processing, Storage, and Cooking on Nutrients in Plant-Based Foods

Sautéing is a quick cooking method that uses a small amount of fat in which the product is tossed over high heat with quick movements of the sautéing pan. Stir-frying is similar to sautéing in that it is a quick cooking technique over high heat. The main difference is that the cooking pan is left stationary, and the product is stirred using spatulas. When sautéing or stir-frying vegetables, it is important to complete all preparation steps before cooking because these methods take little time to fully cook the products. Both methods are appropriate for a wide range of vegetables. Root vegetables, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower may be precooked using a blanching or baking step and then sautéed to finish cooking and develop flavor. Please refer to text box 4 for general instructions to sauté fruits and vegetables.

I have seen good food here daily, but tonight as a new admit, when food has taken on the role of friend and comforter, I am greeted with watery cauliflower running into pale chicken and noodles. Depressed, but too hungry to care, I even eat the orange jello, which I dislike.

A six-year-old girl-child was brought with complaints of cauliflower-like outgrowth from the left orbit of six-months duration with associated discharge for two weeks. She was investigated for a white reflex in the right-eye at five months of age and underwent enucleation elsewhere followed by multiple cycles of chemotherapy. Follow-up visits were ignored due to financial constraints and the fear of losing the other eye. Examination showed a pedicled extra orbital fungating mass of about 10 cm in diameter arising from the left orbit (Figure 1a). The mass was firm in consistency with foul smelling discharge and no obvious tenderness. There was no structure suggestive of the eyeball that was clinically identifiable. The contralateral (previously enucleated) socket was clean and healthy with no evidence of any clinical recurrence of the tumour noted.

Exploratory laparotomy revealed a gastroduodenal intussusception, whereby a portion of the full thickness of the stomach was invaginated through the neighboring duodenum. After manual reduction of the intussusception, a mass was felt at the pyloric antrum, which was accessed through a small incision in the anterior wall of the gastric antrum. A cauliflower mass measuring 5x5x2 cm, with nodular cerebroid surface was found resting on a small pedicle on the posterior wall of the gastric antrum (Figure 2 (A and B)). The whole mass was completely excised, together with its root, by shaving off the underlying mucosa, a form of “mucosectomy”. Closure of the posterior wall of the antrum followed by closure of the gastrotomy using 4/0 vicryl were done. The specimen was sent for pathological evaluation. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful.

Orhan et al.4 presented a case of a six-year-old girl with bilateral epiphora whose elder sibling was also a known case of lipoid proteinosis. Apart from moniliform blepharosis and hoarseness, the puncta were bilaterally covered by cystic lesions. The lesions were excised but histopathological examination was not conclusive for lipoid proteinosis. The post-operative course was not mentioned. Mukherjee and Devi5 presented a case of 32-years-old man with lipoid proteinosis, who presented with eyelid lesions and hoarse voice. Examination showed cauliflower-like lesions involving bilateral lower puncta. The patient was lost to follow-up before excision of these lesions. No close-up images of the punctal lesions were available in both these reports. The present case demonstrated detailed features with high magnification images, dacryoendoscopy to assess any proximal canalicular involvement, the use of monoka stents following excision and histopathological confirmation of punctal lesions as that of lipoid proteinosis. Ostrovsky et al.6 described bilateral nasolacrimal duct obstruction in a case of an 80-year-old man with Urbach-Wiethe syndrome. This is more likely to be an association rather than a direct influence of the syndrome since histological examination did not reveal any evidence of extracellular hyaline deposits. The present case did not show any nasolacrimal duct obstructions.
