More pretty vegetables
The commonest variety is green and white, but there are other varieties which are purple, lime-green, or orange. The purple colour is natural and comes from anthocyanins, the antioxidants which also occur in blueberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, and red cabbage, among others.
Eaten raw or lightly steamed, it is a delicious addition to any meal.
That is new to me.
ReplyDeleteThey're very nice.
DeleteI learn something new every tome I visit you.
ReplyDelete😊
DeleteWhat will they engineer next😱
ReplyDeleteApparently, they're completely natural. The colours come from 'naturally occurring plant pigments and antioxidants.'
DeleteNew to me too, don't think they've got into Aldi yet!
ReplyDeleteGive them time and/or popularity.
DeleteNot a fan of cauliflower, they do look pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe colour doesn't disappear with cooking, either. I've grown to like cauliflower, particularly raw.
DeleteIt was so good of you to broaden my culinary horizons Janice. Thank you and have a nice day!
ReplyDelete😁
DeleteI'm not exactly a fan of cauliflower but would be willing to give the purple one a try. I've seen the purple one before but I had no idea there was an orange variety as well! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt would make 'eating a rainbow' much easier, though I suppose it would be cheating . . .
DeleteAnother one I've never seen before. And here I though cauliflower only came in white.
ReplyDeleteI don't expect there's a huge demand for them, but we'll see.
DeleteHealthy, crunchy and delicious.
ReplyDelete. . . raw or cooked . . .
DeleteBeautiful vegetables.. very photogenic and very tasty. Enjoy looking before they're long gone.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. A feast for the eyes. 😊
DeleteI'm not a big fan of cauliflower, and I'm not sure the colour purple helps... ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, dear . . . never mind. 😉
DeleteNew to me too

I haven't seen them before this year, not that I've been looking, of course.
DeleteIt also makes for a pretty presentation. And we do eat with our eyes first!
ReplyDeleteWe do.
DeleteI've seen that cauliflower at the Asian market, but it's always a little pricy.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's main market, really, though it may become so in years to come.
DeleteSomething new. I'll stick to the traditional. But that's all I'll find anyway
ReplyDelete🤣😂
Deletehow pretty. Must look lovely . We do enjoy all kinds of cauliflower
ReplyDeleteIt's a versatile vegetable.
DeleteThe purple is a very pretty color.
ReplyDeleteI thought so, too, and it remains after cooking, too.
DeleteYum cauliflower! Those are lovely but the "picture" wouldn't last long at our house. We'd be munching on it!
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer cauliflower raw to cooked, but I'll take either.
DeleteWow those are pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think so, too.
DeleteI've not heard of this type of broccoli. Perhaps it's not commonly grown in my part of the United States? We do have traditional cauliflower and farm stands sell the colors you mention.
ReplyDeleteI've only ever seen the standard cauliflower before this year.
DeleteI've never seen that variety. Maybe if we found the purple cauliflower, Himself might eat it as it's his favorite color.
ReplyDeleteWorth a try. Keep looking 😉
DeleteWe are so deprived here...one type of cabbage, one type of broccoli, one type of cauliflower. Such is life in Nod.
ReplyDeleteWe don't know how privileged we are 😉
DeleteI love cauliflower but haven't noticed any purple ones in the shops yet.
ReplyDeleteOne day, maybe . . .
DeleteI do enjoy vegetables and do my best to eat the colours of the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed carrot, courgette and mangetout with a lovely fillet of salmon yesterday and I do like the look of the sweet-stem cauliflower ... will keep an eye out for some :)
All the best Jan
I hope you find some. It's nice to try different vegetables.
ReplyDeletePretty. Our neighbor sells at farmer's markets. Their farm theme this year was purple - I had no idea how many veggies come in purple.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite a surprise to realise how many there are.
DeleteFun veg - love different things ... cheers for these - Hilary
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely.
ReplyDeleteOoh, the lilac one is really pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteIt tastes good, too.
