Organic Cauliflower
Firm, flavourful organic cauliflower. Don’t forget to eat the leaves – they’re tender and sweet.
About
Mass-grown cauliflower is pushed on with artificial fertiliser, for rapid development but mushy florets. Our organic cauliflower is different: grown slowly and naturally, on mineral-rich soil. The result is smaller, firmer caulis with exceptional nutty flavour and crunch. For zero food waste, you can eat the leaves, too - they're tender and sweet.
Country of origin
Produced in- The UK
UK Seasonality
Makes a far better-tasting cauliflower cheese than anything I have made before
How to prepare
Veg up your diet with cauliflower rice or used as a low-carb topping for cottage pie. Or go for full-on comfort with cauliflower cheese – to make it a full meal we like throwing in a good dollop of mustard, a bit of smoked fish, bacon or chopped hard-boiled eggs (usually not all at the same time!).
Storage
Keep in the fridge – they can last up to a fortnight.

Grown by Richard Tucker, Venn Farm, Devon
Veg is in the Tucker family’s genes at Venn Farm, South Devon. Richard and his dad Trevor grow a range of beautiful organic veg, including Savoy cabbage, leeks, purple sprouting broccoli, and the all-important swedes for our Christmas veg boxes. The pair converted their family farm to organic in 2011, and started growing veg for Riverford in 2020.
