Purple of Sicily Cauliflower
Purple of Sicily Cauliflower is a striking Italian heirloom with large, 2–3 lb heads in a vivid, brilliant purple that's entirely natural and looks spectacular in the garden and at the market. Rich in anthocyanins, the color signals exceptional nutritional value, and the flavor is mild, slightly nutty, and sweeter than white cauliflower — wonderful roasted until the edges brown and caramelize, steamed until just tender, or used raw in salads where the purple color holds beautifully before any heat is applied.
