Cauliflower

Broccoli and cauliflower are the only vegetables that are flowers.

The cauliflower is actually a flower that hasn’t developed yet.

The cauliflower is a member of the same vegetable family as broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts and cabbage.


The name cauliflower means “cabbage flower.”

The head of a cauliflower is called a curd.

China and India make up a whopping 73% of the world's cauliflower production.

The 'cauliflower creak' is the sound of cauliflowers growing so fast you can hear the florets rubbing together.

Cauliflowers are used in movie sound effects. Cracking one at the stem simulates the sound of human bone breaking.
