Cauliflower Whole

Cauliflower Whole is a firm, dense head with tight, creamy-white curds and a mild, nutty flavour that becomes sweeter and more complex with heat. One whole cauliflower offers impressive versatility across a wide range of dishes.

Look for compact, bright white heads with fresh green leaves still attached — a sign of good freshness. Cauliflower is available year-round and keeps in the fridge for up to a week. The leaves and stem are both edible, so use the whole thing.

Roast whole with spiced butter, cut into steaks and char on a grill pan, blitz into a silky soup, or break into florets and bake into a gratin with cheese sauce.
