Purple Cauliflower

Purple Cauliflower

EverydayFresh

Purple cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable distinguished by its vibrant violet hue, derived from antioxidant-rich anthocyanins naturally present in its florets. Like its white counterpart, it provides a mild, slightly nutty flavor and remains low in calories while offering fiber, vitamin C, and glucosinolates linked to anti-inflammatory benefits. The striking color intensifies when cooked with acidic ingredients, making it a nutrient-dense choice that adds visual appeal to raw platters, roasted dishes, or steamed sides.
