Vegetables, Cauliflower

A member of the brassica family, along with broccoli and cabbage, cauliflower was first eaten in Europe in the 13th century and was originally from the Middle East.

Cauliflower was originally known as coleflower, meaning cabbage flower. With its classic creamy white florets and delicate flavour.

As well as the familiar white variety, Romanesco cauliflowers are available. These are conical shaped and pale green in colour.

Baby cauliflowers can also be bought and are an ideal size for a single portion. Whatever variety you buy choose a cauliflower that has a clean, firm head with crisp-looking green outer leaves

Your dog will like Cauliflower, but like most vegetables the fibre content is broken down by cooking. Boil Cauliflower until soft and tender, but only give a small amount with other vegetables and meat.
