5 Fun Facts about Cruciferous Vegetables

2. They're gassy, but healthy. Their sulfur-containing, gas-causing compounds are called glucosinolates. If you're tooting after eating them, that's a good sign you're nourishing healthy gut bacteria. 
3. They're historic. In ancient civilizations, soldiers believed eating cauliflower raw would prevent intoxication. 
4. They can be stored. Cruciferous vegetables are hardy as long as they're kept dry and cool to avoid spoilage.
