Description
A hybrid cauliflower variety with a medium sized head of yellowish-orange florets. Cheddar Cauliflower has a sweet, mild taste and retains its colour when cooked or steamed. It also contains higher amounts of beta-carotene (an antioxidant) than traditional cauliflower varieties.
Sunlight exposure brings out their colour, so there is no need to wrap the heads. The crop is most suited to autumn harvests, but can also be grown for summer harvest. An easy cauliflower to grow with a good yield.
