Amazing local cauliflower

[jcam222]

Stopped in to my favorite Mennonite / Amish store today and saw these irresistible cauliflower. First the yellow caught my eye because I swears it bigger around than a basketball! Of course I couldn’t pass on the amazing purple either. Having no plans to do justice to the purple I’ll likely vacuum pack and freeze for a future purée. Will make for a gorgeous dish. Will likely do a cheddar mash with the yellow. I don’t know what they are fertilizing with but it’s working lol.

That's some nice looking cauliflower. I too wonder what what they fed it .... almost looks like mutant heads.

I don't raise it, or broccoli anymore. The bugs usually end up eating more of it than I do. lol

Is that real? Or food coloring? Honestly only ever saw white cauliflower

Wow. I guess it about time for me to get back on the horse. Took a break after blood work and my eyes are telling me the party is over!

I would add them both to a salad for some eye-popping colors as well as that great cauliflower flavor!

Man it's good like that .

I like to take cauliflower, cut it up into chunks, boil it in salted water and then take the mixer to it to make faux garlic mashed potatoes to top cottage pies. Much lower glycemic index than the taters.

I do a lot of mashes with cauliflower and also cauliflower and turnip. Many of my posts here include them.
