The broccoflower name comes from a cross between broccoli and cauliflower, two vegetables that are actually so closely related that they can be easily cross-pollinated. Broccoflower tends to be milder, more tender, and slightly sweeter than either broccoli or cauliflower. It is delicious raw and a great conversation piece at parties.
The Vitaverde cauliflower, or "broccoflower," is the famous cross of broccoli and cauliflower! The Vitaverde broccoflower grows up to 1 pound. This hybrid has a vibrant green head, is heat tolerant and cooks fast with a mild sweet taste.
