Vegetable steaks are versatile and can be customized to suit your taste preferences. Select from cabbage, cauliflower, zucchini, eggplant, King Oyster mushrooms, Lions Mane mushrooms, and butternut squash all make great choices for vegetable steaks. You can also experiment with different seasonings and sauces too.
Cabbage steaks (my personal favorite next to cauliflower) are a delicious and creative way to prepare cabbage, turning this humble vegetable into a flavorful and satisfying main dish.

Caraway seeds are the dried fruit, or achenes, of the caraway plant (Carum carvi), a member of the parsley family. These seeds have a warm, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor with a hint of citrus. Caraway seeds are commonly used as a spice in various cuisines around the world and are known for their aromatic and distinctive taste.
Mustard seeds contain copious amounts of vitamins A, C, and K, which are crucial for fighting chronic diseases, better vision and eye health, and blood clotting mechanisms.
Fennel and fennel seeds provide important nutrients, such as vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and manganese. All parts of the fennel plant are rich in powerful antioxidants like chlorogenic acid, limonene, and quercetin — all of which may benefit health. They contain fiber, potassium, magnesium, and calcium — all of which are essential for good heart health. Fennel has antibacterial properties and may improve mental health, relieve menopausal symptoms, and reduce inflammation. Still, it’s unlikely that fennel or its seeds would offer the same effects when eaten in small amounts.
Celery seed might have many effects on the body, including lowering blood sugar and blood pressure causing sleepiness. People use celery to repel mosquitos, for prediabetes, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
