Vitaverde Cauliflower

Vitaverde Cauliflower Seeds

Non-GMO | High-Yield Hybrid | The Emerald Culinary Star

The Culinary Edge 🥦

Stop settling for the standard white curd when you can bring high-definition color to the table. Vitaverde Cauliflower is a standout "Macerata" type, known for its brilliant lime-green heads and exceptional architectural form. Unlike white varieties that require blanching (covering the heads) to stay pale, Vitaverde thrives in the light, deepening its emerald pigment as it matures. It is the perfect choice for chefs who want to bridge the gap between the crunch of cauliflower and the vibrant look of broccoli.

At A Glance:

✨ Flavor Profile

• Sweet & Gentle: Vitaverde is notably sweeter and less "sulfury" than traditional white cauliflower, making it a favorite for those who prefer a milder all-around flavor.

• Tender Texture: The florets have a fine grain and a tender-crisp snap that holds up beautifully through various cooking methods.

🍴 Culinary Versatility

• The "Green Steak": When sliced into thick slabs and roasted, the green edges brown slightly while the interior stays vibrant, creating a stunning vegetarian centerpiece.

• Crudité Contrast: Serve raw alongside Clementine Orange and purple varieties for a high-end, tri-color vegetable platter that requires zero prep work to look professional.

• Sous-Vide Success: This variety holds its brilliant lime-green color exceptionally well when steamed or cooked sous-vide, avoiding the "graying" common in other colored brassicas.

🌱 Growing Notes

• Sun-Loving Color: No leaf-tying required! This variety is "open-headed," meaning the green color develops best when exposed directly to the sun.

• Montreal Performance: Ideally suited for the Montreal region's transition from late summer into autumn. The heads stay tight and resist "riciness" even if temperatures fluctuate during the final weeks of growth.

• Consistent Yields: As a professional-grade hybrid, Vitaverde produces heavy, uniform heads (approx. 7 inches) with excellent leaf cover to protect the base of the plant.
