ABSTRACT

Fresh vegetables and fruits are an important part of a healthy diet as they are a significant source of vitamins and minerals, cauliflower is one among them. However, this vegetable can also be a source of noxious toxic substances—pesticides. Vegetables are traded worldwide and among them the list of pesticides that might have been applied in their agricultural production is usually not known [1–3]. Cauliflower (Brassica oleraceae var. botrytis) is one of the cruciferous vegetable,like cabbage, Brussel's sprouts and broccoli. It came to lndia in 1822. The initial introductions were "Cornish" types from England than by the European types. The Indian cauliflower or the tropical types are a result of intercrossing among these types. The name cauliflower consists of two Latin words called 'caulis' which means cabbage and 'floris' which means flower. In Ayurveda there are various references regarding cauliflower and mentioned its importance, Hence an attempt was made to collect all such references for knowing its nutritional values by Traditional perspectives and day by day changing its nutritional and medicinal values.
