Discovering Purple Cauliflower: A Vibrant Addition to Your Plate!

As the seasons shift towards spring and summer, there's a delightful addition to the vegetable lineup that catches the eye and excites the palate: purple cauliflower. This stunning variant of the traditional white cauliflower brings a burst of colour and flavour to any table.

A Visual Feast

One of the immediate draws of purple cauliflower is its striking appearance. With its vibrant hue ranging from deep violet to rich lavender, it adds a pop of colour to vegetable gatherings and culinary creations alike. Plated alongside other vegetables or as a standalone star, purple cauliflower elevates the visual appeal of any dish.

Crossbreeding Success

Purple cauliflower is a testament to the success of crossbreeding in agriculture. Through careful cultivation, this unique variety has been developed to not only delight the eyes but also tantalise the taste buds. Despite its unconventional colour, its flavour profile remains wonderfully nutty, offering a delightful twist on the familiar cauliflower taste.

Pairing Purple Cauliflower: What to Cook It With?

When it comes to cooking purple cauliflower, the possibilities are as vibrant as its hue. Here are a few ideas to make the most of this colourful cruciferous vegetable:

  • Roasted Purple Cauliflower: Toss florets of purple cauliflower with olive oil, garlic, and your favourite herbs, then roast until tender and caramelized for a flavorful side dish or snack.
  • Purple Cauliflower Mash: Steam or boil purple cauliflower until soft, then mash with butter, cream, and seasoning for a colourful twist on traditional mashed potatoes.
  • Purple Cauliflower Salad: Slice raw purple cauliflower thinly and toss with a bright vinaigrette, fresh herbs and other crunchy vegetables for a refreshing and visually stunning salad.
  • Purple Cauliflower Pizza: Use roasted or steamed purple cauliflower as a colourful topping for homemade pizzas, adding a burst of flavour and nutrition to every slice.
  • Purple Cauliflower Soup: Puree-cooked purple cauliflower with vegetable broth, onions and spices for a vibrant and velvety soup that's as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate.
