Cauliflower

I'm not your average flower - I'm a vegetable in disguise and love to keep things nutritious in the kitchen!

My mild flavour and high nutrient content makes me a front runner for your green diet.

I come from the inflorescence (cluster of flower buds) of Brassica oleracea.

History

Cauliflowers were domesticated relatively recently. They were unknown in the early Middle Ages, and were apparently introduced into Europe from the Levant or Cyprus at around the end of the fifteenth century.
