Orange Cauliflower – 6 Seedlings
Orange Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is an attractive vegetable variety known for its vibrant orange heads and mild, slightly sweet flavour. Its distinctive colour comes from naturally occurring beta-carotene, making it a colourful addition to your vegetable garden.
Perfect for roasting, steaming, soups and vegetable dishes, Orange Cauliflower is both nutritious and delicious. It grows particularly well during Malta’s cooler months.
