Fresh Vegetable
Cauliflower
Ref: CAV-02
Italian name: Cavolfiore
Weight: 4-5 kg
Description: A brassica, like cabbage and broccoli, cauliflower is a mass of tiny, tightly packed flower heads (called curds), which grow from a thick central stem to form a single, round head, cupped by green leaves. It has a firm, almost waxy texture, and a mild, delicate flavour.
Peak season: Winter
Serving suggestion: The florets are great used raw in a salad or as part of a crudité selection served with dips. A good way to cook it for the kids is boil them, put in a pan, cover with grated Grana Padano cheese, speck, milk cream and gratinate them in the oven.
