Cauliflower has had its popular day as a rice replacement
or as pizza crust. We like our rice and we like our pizza dough, but we also love a fresh vegetable option! Here are the ways we enjoy eating it.

Did You Know?

While white cauliflower is the most common, you may find striking colored varieties available when in season. Keep your eyes peeled for yellow, orange, green, and even purple cauliflower. These varieties have slightly different flavor and nutritional profiles. Orange cauliflower is slightly sweeter and has more beta carotene than white, while purple cauliflower is high in anthocyanin, an antioxidant commonly found in purple vegetables.

A Call For Cauliflower

Fresh and Flowery

Cauliflower is actually a flower that has not fully developed yet.

Related

Cauliflower is part of the Brassica genus family, which means it’s related to brussels sprouts, broccoli, and kale!

Identity Confusion

Green cauliflower is sometimes labeled as “broccoflower,” creating the confusion that it’s a cross between broccoli and cauliflower.
