Cauliflower White Sauce

Cauliflower White Sauce is a creamy sauce made by pureeing cauliflower with milk or broth and used as a lower-calorie, vegetable-forward alternative to traditional cream or béchamel sauces in many cuisines. It’s commonly used to add a smooth, neutral base for pasta, gratins, soups and baked dishes while keeping a light vegetable flavor. As an ingredient, Cauliflower White Sauce provides a modest micronutrient contribution — notably about 29mg of vitamin C per 100g — and tends to be lower in carbohydrates than starchy cream sauces while delivering some fibre and a creamy mouthfeel from added milk or fats. Compared with oil- or cream-heavy sauces, it is filling and vegetable-rich, making it a practical option to boost vegetable intake; it is not a significant source of protein, so it’s often paired with protein-rich foods to make a balanced meal.
