Orange cauliflower

Orange cauliflower is a colourful variation of white cauliflower, with a slightly sweeter taste. Its vibrant colour comes from a natural mutation that allows the plant to produce more beta-carotene. It’s delicious in dishes like casseroles.

Smart
tips

Store separately

Orange cauliflower is sensitive to ethylene gas. To prevent the florets from turning yellow, don’t store it next to ethylene-producing fruits and vegetables like apples, pears, or tomatoes.

Presentation

Display the cauliflowers with the head facing up and the leaves partly wrapped around it. This highlights the orange colour while keeping the head protected.

Transport

Use ventilated crates to prevent condensation during transport.

Growing Method

BelOrta’s orange cauliflower is grown both in open fields and in greenhouses. Field-grown cauliflower develops a firmer texture and a deeper flavour. In the greenhouse, it grows faster and is protected from the weather. Both methods guarantee a high-quality cauliflower that’s packed with vitamins.
