It was a new one to me too. In weighing a cauliflower I was preparing I’d realised at least half the weight was in the leaves and stalk so I decided not to just put them aside. I had a quick look up to see if they were edible, I imagined they were anyway but just to be sure.
I just ate some boiled as if it were greens/cabbage but when looked a little further it seems some people roast them or fry them in butter which sounds lovely.
I was pleasantly surprised, I love vegetables, but don’t believe I have tried them before, they were quite sweetish tasting and tasty to me not bitter at all like I thought they may turn out.
Kept the water and some other trimmings I freeze now and again to make some kind of soup with later.
It is quite possible as what I was seeing is the large avocado I had was 17g of carbs, so looked it up elsewhere and a medium one was 12g. It is also possible I’ve been looking at total carbs since I started, was using mfp as a food diary, and it’s a minefield of entries.
Although I would rather be under than over, I’ll need to have a sit down to find out a decent source/app as a lot of stuff like veg isn’t labelled.
Eager to hear how your cheese experiments come out.
