Green Cauliflower

Green cauliflower - which is also known as Broccoflower - is a mixture of both cauliflower and broccoli (hence the nickname). Green cauliflower takes after the cauliflower in the way it looks - except of course for the green pigment where it derives its full name from.

It is because broccoli and cauliflower have so much in common that many cultivators decided to mix them together to create this whole new vegetable. They have crossed the two plants through the use of natural and hand pollinators. The two main cultivators of Green cauliflower are ‘Green Ball' and ‘Tanimura & Antle' (they came up and trademarked the name Broccoflower).

Green cauliflower is definitely something to try and is often said to have a much more satisfying taste than White cauliflower. It tastes of both broccoli and cauliflower - which helps to give it a sweet flavor. Green cauliflower can be cooked the same way as White cauliflower.
