Origin
The exact origins of Cauliflower are heavily debated among experts. It is a descendant of a wild cabbage variety that is native to the coastal regions of the Mediterranean and was widely spread across the Mediterranean and the Middle East in ancient times.
Qualities
Cauliflower is a common vegetable in many homes, but it is notoriously difficult to grow, taking up a large amount of space while producing a small, edible head. This compact variety grows a 2-4 inch head on a smaller plant. Cauliflower is an excellent source of fiber and vitamin C.
Use
Mini Cauliflower is extremely versatile and adaptable to any cooking preparation. Its neutral flavor makes it an excellent vehicle for your favorite spices and seasonings. The leaves are also edible raw or cooked!
Care & Harvest
💡Temperature: Prefers cooler temperatures (65-70°F).
✂️ Pruning: Requires minimal pruning. Snip away yellow or brown leaves if they appear. Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod.
🥦 Harvest:To harvest the head, wait until it reaches 2-4-inches wide, then snip at the head's base. The plant will not produce a second head, but the entire plant is edible, so you can harvest the leaves at the same time and consume them raw or cooked!
