Cauliflower

Farm fresh Cauliflowers are being offered by us in different sizes. These have a creamy white color and are crunchy to eat. While the florets are the most eaten part of this vegetable, sometimes, its stem is also consumed. Cauliflowers are rich in vitamin B & fibers and also considered beneficial in fighting cancer. Cauliflower is one of several vegetables in the species Brassica oleracea, in the family Brassiness. It is an annual plant that reproduces by seed. Typically, only the head (the white curd) of aborted floral meristems is eaten, while the stalk and surrounding thick, green leaves are used in vegetable broth or discarded. Its name is from Latin caulis (cabbage) and flower, an acknowledgment of its unusual place among a family of food plants which normally produces only leafy greens for eating.
