Which part of cauliflower is eaten?

Answer 1

You can eat what is above ground if you have a garden. If you get your cauliflower at the store - I usually peel off some of the pieces that look like leaves real tight against the stem, and eat the rest ~ raw or cooked.

ANS 2 - Excellent answer above, just to add to that, the stalk is a very good starter for veg soup if chopped finely. - I often make 'Groontiesoop', a Boer variety of vegetable soup, using cauli and broccoli stalks. Everyone loves it.

Answer 2

You can eat all parts if you want to but you don't have to. I quite like the flower part best.

Answer 3

The curd . The white bit in the centre, not the leaves.

Answer 4

We eat the cauliflower head. This is composed of many small clusters of flowers. You can also eat the green leaf areas of the plant

Answer 5

All of it can be eaten. Florets as a veg or in salad and the stem and leaves in a soup.

Answer 6

You can eat all of it, the stalk is great as a soup base.
