Product Description

The Sicilian Purple Cauliflower is an eye-catching Italian cauliflower variety known for its vibrant purple curds, which are rich in antioxidants and nutrients. The dense heads form a rounded shape with a smooth, tender texture and retain their brilliant color when steamed, roasted, or grilled. Its flavor is mild, slightly sweet, with a hint of nuttiness, and is less sulfurous than white cauliflower. Originally cultivated in Sicily, this hardy plant brings color and nutritional value to the plate, adding a pop of color and unique taste to a wide range of dishes.
