Many people serve cauliflower raw with dip or hummus as an appetizer, but the nutty flavor of the curds is accentuated when roasted.
Try roasting your cauliflower and serving it with a curry or adding cooked curds to a soup and then pureeing with a dash of cream and topping with roasted hazelnuts and grated cheese.
Instructions - Sow seeds indoors ¼" deep. Plant out just before the last frost. Cauliflower prefers cool temperatures and a steady supply of water. Tying leaves around heads to blanch is not necessary, but the practice helps prevent yellowing of the creamy white curds.
- Start Indoors: 6-8 weeks before last frost
- Germination: 4-10 Days
- Plant Outdoors: 24” Apart
- Light: Full Sun
