Orange Cauliflower

Orange cauliflower is probably one of the most delicious forms of cauliflower that you will ever eat. Many people who do not like the taste of White cauliflower will find that the sweet and mild taste of the Orange cauliflower is much better and easier to eat.

The Orange cauliflower was first discovered over 30 years ago in 1970 in the country of Canada. At this time it was much smaller and blander than the White cauliflower. Because of its alluring color the National Vegetable Research Center in England decided to take a look at it to see how they could improve upon it.

Some of the more conventional breeding techniques were used to crossbreed the unusual cauliflower. They finally found the results they were looking for when they crossed it with a White cauliflower - but one that wasn't too pale.

Along with creating more taste and a larger vegetable - they also worked on giving it more vitamins and nutrients than the White cauliflower. After eight years they were able to give outdo the White cauliflower by giving it more antioxidants, nutrients, and 25% more Vitamin A.
