Purple cauliflower

Purple cauliflower is a colourful variety of white cauliflower with a slightly sweeter taste than the white kind. Its colour comes from anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in blueberries and red cabbage.

Smart
tips

Store separately

Purple cauliflower is sensitive to ethylene gas. Avoid placing it next to ethylene-producing vegetables like apples, pears, and tomatoes to prevent yellowing of the florets.

Presentation

Present the cauliflowers with the head facing up and the leaves partly wrapped around, so the orange colour stands out and the head stays protected.

Transport

Use ventilated crates to prevent condensation during transport.

Growing Method

Our purple cauliflower is grown both in open fields and in greenhouses. In open fields, the cauliflower grows naturally, while in greenhouses the environmental conditions are controlled for optimal growth. Both growing methods ensure healthy, high-quality cauliflower ready for harvest. This way, you can enjoy delicious purple cauliflower, fresh from the field or the greenhouse!
