Purple Cauliflower Quick Facts

Taste and Texture

Purple Cauliflower tastes very similar to white cauliflower, but many customers find it slightly sweeter and more nutty. The florets are firm when raw and become tender when roasted, steamed or stir-fried.

• Mild cauliflower flavour
• Slightly sweet and lightly nutty taste
• Firm florets with a tender bite after cooking
• Attractive natural purple colour
• Suitable for roasting, steaming, stir-frying and raw salads

Purple Cauliflower, Purple Broccoli and 紫花椰菜

Purple Cauliflower is a cauliflower variety, not broccoli. Customers may search for Purple Broccoli because of the similar colour, but purple cauliflower has the round curd and eating texture of cauliflower.

In Chinese, purple cauliflower is commonly written as 紫花椰菜. Another related search term, 嫩茎花椰菜, usually refers more closely to tenderstem broccoli or broccolini-style vegetables, so it should be treated as a comparison term rather than the main name for this product.

How to Cook Purple Cauliflower

If you are searching how to cook purple cauliflower, the easiest methods are roasting, steaming, stir-frying or serving it raw. Roasting brings out a sweeter, nuttier flavour, while steaming keeps the florets tender and clean-tasting.

To help keep the purple colour attractive, avoid heavy boiling for too long. A small splash of lemon juice or vinegar can help brighten the colour, while roasting or quick steaming usually keeps the vegetable looking better than long boiling.

• Roast with olive oil, salt and black pepper
• Steam lightly for a clean vegetable side dish
• Stir-fry with garlic and mixed vegetables
• Slice thinly for salads, slaws or vegetable platters
• Add to soups near the end of cooking
• Finish with lemon juice, vinegar or yuzu dressing for brightness

Simple Purple Cauliflower Recipe

For a simple purple cauliflower recipe, cut the cauliflower into florets, toss with olive oil, salt, black pepper and a little garlic, then roast until tender and lightly browned at the edges.

Finish with lemon juice, parmesan, herbs, chilli flakes, tahini sauce, yoghurt dressing or sesame dressing. This works well as a colourful side dish for chicken, fish, steak, pasta, grain bowls or vegetarian meals.
