I do know that vitamin C is needed for a healthy immune system but I never knew it’s also good for a healthy libido. Interesting fact. And thanks to Chandelle for reminding that vitamin c foods are best eaten raw.

This recipe looks amazing. Do you know of anyway to turn it into a low-fat recipe?

I think that if you skipped the dipping sauce, it would be pretty low fat as-is. You could experiment with reducing the olive oil and upping the moisture with broth – maybe subbing for half? But the batter might not stick as well.

This recipe sounds amazing! I hope we get some cauliflower with our CSA sooon! This sounds like it would work well with broccoli or mushrooms, too!

This is a great post, with great information. But a cooked recipe is not the best option for vitamin C, which dissipates within seconds when heat is applied. Red bell peppers, kiwi, strawberries, cabbage, and the other good sources of vitamin C that you mentioned would be better eaten raw if vitamin C consumption is the goal. As a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin C is just lost too quickly for heated dishes to be a good source. Squeezing on the lemon juice after cooking would improve the vitamin content of this dish. Sounds great!
