Cauliflower Violetta Italia
Botanical name: Brassica oleracea
Seed heritage:
Violetta Italia is an exceptional cauliflower variety grown for its nutritious, flavorful, and visually striking purple heads. This variety produces large, vigorous plants adorned with a solid, medium-sized, vibrant-purple head, which turns bright green when cooked. Following the harvest of the main head, the plant continues to produce a steady supply of side shoots for an extended harvesting season. The flavour of both the head and the shoots are tender, mild, and nutty, and can be eaten both raw and cooked commonly through steaming, sautéing, or roasting.
