Baking broccoli and cauliflower releases some of the chemical reactions that raw broccoli and cauliflower can produce in the stomach. The longer it is baked, the less internal reaction will occur. If the broccoli and cauliflower is only softened, the chemical reaction with stomach acids will still occur, though perhaps lessened if the stomach is full of other food. Fully cooked broccoli and cauliflower should be soft enough to cut with a fork. Butter and bacon or ham bits will improve the flavor, and they may reduce later stomach reactions. Include them in a casserole, instead of an individual dish.
