Cauliflower varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common cauliflower varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
White	Everyday roasting, mashing, and curries: tender white florets, the all-purpose supermarket head.
Romanesco	Roasting and showpiece sides: lime-green fractal florets with a mild nutty flavour that holds shape.
Purple	Roasting and gratin for colour: same flavour as White, magenta hue fades with long cooking.
Orange (Cheddar / Sunset)	Roasting and gratin for colour: same flavour as White, high in beta-carotene.
Green (Broccoflower / Verde)	Raw crudités and quick roasts: milder and slightly sweeter than White.

Which should I pick?

For everyday roasting, cauliflower rice, and curries, White is the supermarket default: tender florets that crisp well roasted. No White? Romanesco gives a nuttier edge with eye-catching fractal florets. Purple and Orange (Cheddar) cook the same as White and add colour to gratins and roasts; the pigment fades slightly with long cooking. Green (Broccoflower) is milder and slightly sweeter, the pick for raw crudités.
