Cauliflower is one of the vegetables I buy, use fresh in salads, and waste the rest. Not a wise use of food. By the way, the leaves are edible also. Meat can be wrapped in the leaves; leaves used in salads or in a stir-fry; blanched, etc.-Mike
Cauliflower is associated with the island of Cyprus, by the 12th- and 13th-century Arab botanists. Hence, is also known as "Cyprus colewort". The island was under French rule until the 16th century and was introduced to France, then to British India in the early 1800s.
