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.
