Cauliflower

Cauliflower is extremely versatile, just as at home smothered in a velvety cheese sauce as spiced up in a delicious curry.

Long a favourite on the British menu, sales of cauliflower have suffered over the last ten years, partly due to the arrival of many exotic varieties of vegetables from abroad on our supermarket shelves.

Cauliflower is a tricky crop to grow and is very labour intensive as it is harvested by hand. The weather has a big impact on the growth of cauliflower which is why you see such size variations in the shops.
