Description

Cauliflower is composed of tiny florets on clusters (also known as “curds”) of stalks. This member of the cabbage family is very popular among vegetarian diets due to its great flavor and nutritional value. To make sure you have a quality product, check that your cauliflower is tight and compact, with creamy white curds and neatly trimmed green leaves. In order to preserve freshness, cauliflowers are often packed with a protective plastic cellophane wrapper over the entire head.
