🥦 Cauliflower

Brassica oleracea

A round, bumpy vegetable made of many tiny white flower buds packed close together.

A creamy white head shaped like a cloud, surrounded by big green leaves.

Mild and a little nutty, soft when cooked and crunchy when raw.

Full of vitamin C and fiber, and it is very low in calories.

Eaten roasted, steamed, mashed like potatoes, or raw with a dip.

Grows on a leafy plant close to the ground, with the white head protected by its leaves.

Likes cool weather and is at its best in fall and spring.

Cauliflower comes from the same wild plant as broccoli and cabbage, first grown near the Mediterranean Sea.

Cauliflower can grow in fun colors too, like purple, orange, and bright green.

Roasting cauliflower in the oven makes it golden and a little sweet, a tasty way to try it.
