Cauliflower?!
Answers: There is a store where I live selling these cauliflowers that are the color of the cheese sauce powder in Kraft Dinner. I asked why they were that color and not the usual white but she didn't know other than they obviously has been crossed with something. Is there anyone out there who knows what they have done to end up with this color cauli. I know about the Brocolli cross one that is green. It tasted just like a regular white one.
Michael Dickson started developing the vegetable in 1981 after researchers from the National Vegetable Research Center in England who were familiar with his work forwarded him some seeds from the mutant plant, first found in the Bradford Marsh north of Toronto in 1970.
Dickson said the mutant was smaller and not as flavorful as white cauliflower, so it had to be crossbred with standard cauliflower. Development was tricky, partly because cauliflower hadn't been developed as a hybrid before....
I have seen purple ones also.
yes, it is a differnt variety...
"A variety of cauliflower developed in 2004 by Cornell University. The brightly colored cauliflower is actually higher in vitamins particularly vitamins A and C"
I wish they were cheese flavored! That would be GOOD! But they're just a different variety, enjoy them!
I have no idea,but I have seen different colors at a local farmers market
