Cauliflower


Average User Rating: * * * *
The milky, sweet, almost nutty flavor of cauliflower is at its best from December through March when it is in season and most plentiful in your local markets.

Cauliflower lacks the green chlorophyll found in other members of the cruciferous family of vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and kale, because the leaves of the plant shield the florets from the sun as they grow. It has a compact head (called a "curd"), usually about six inches in diameter that is composed of undeveloped flower buds. The flowers are attached to a central stalk.

Cauliflower is really tasty raw dipped in hummus. I also love it steamed and mashed into a puree with a little milk, instead of mashed potatoes.
