Varieties

Broccoflower is a type of cruciferous (cabbage family) vegetable.

Buying and storing tips

Broccoflower can be found in the produce section of most health food stores, specialty markets, and supermarkets. Look for a firm, compact head with tight florets, and avoid any heads that have begun to brown. Store unwashed, tightly wrapped broccoflower in the refrigerator for four to five days.

Preparation, uses, and tips

Wash broccoflower head well, cut into florets, and steam until tender. Or cook broccoflower in stock, then purée with milk or soy milk for a fast, creamy soup.
