Cauliflower, once the wallflower of the vegetable world, is now enjoying its moment in the culinary spotlight. From trendy cauliflower rice to inventive pizza crusts, this versatile veggie has found its way into countless kitchens. Yet, while its taste may be enticing, its appearance on the plate often lacks the wow factor. Enter purple cauliflower — the vibrant twist your spring dishes have been waiting for.
What gives this cruciferous marvel its striking hue? It's all thanks to anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant also found in an array of other purple foods like berries and eggplants. But don't let its vivid color fool you — purple cauliflower boasts the same familiar flavor as its pale counterpart, with some enthusiasts noting a subtle nuttiness and a softer texture when cooked.
