Related to Cauliflower
Broccoli
Same brassica family and a direct swap for roasts, stir-fries, and bakes. Broccoli (95 g/cup) is a touch lighter and greener with a stronger flavour, and the florets cook a little faster, so check a couple of minutes earlier. See our Broccoli converter.
Potato
Use when you want a heartier, starchier mash or gratin. Potato (156 g/cup) holds far more starch than cauliflower, so the result is denser and creamier but higher in carbs. No need to drain the way you would with boiled cauliflower. See our Potato converter.
Cabbage
Shredding cabbage instead? The cabbage converter works out whole-head weights and shredded cups across small, medium, and large sizes. See cabbage heads in items.
