{"title":"Cauliflower","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"cheddar-cauliflower","title":"Cheddar Cauliflower","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eCheddar cauliflower is a hybrid novelty variety featuring bright orange to golden-yellow, smooth, domed heads (curds) that average 6-8 inches across and weigh 1-2 pounds, with a compact, medium-sized plant and dense, creamy texture similar to traditional white cauliflower but with a vibrant color from high beta-carotene content. The flavor is mild, creamy, slightly sweeter and nuttier than standard white cauliflower, with a tender-crisp bite when cooked properly and less of the bitterness sometimes found in supermarket varieties—often described as richer and more appealing for everyday use. It's fantastic roasted to enhance its sweetness and color, steamed or sautéed as a side, blended into creamy soups or purees, added to stir-fries and curries, or enjoyed raw in salads and crudités for visual pop and nutrition (higher in vitamin A). This variety is a good choice for Utah because it's a cool-season crop that performs well in our variable springs and falls with full sun and fertile soil, offering reliable heads in shorter seasons when using transplants, and its color makes it a standout in home gardens amid our dry, sunny conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Individual Plant","offer_id":44848937009261,"sku":"chdr-cau-01","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-Pack","offer_id":44907802591341,"sku":"chdr-cau-02","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Pack","offer_id":44848936976493,"sku":"chdr-cau-04","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/Cheddar.jpg?v=1773699243"},{"product_id":"snow-crown-cauliflower","title":"Snow Crown Cauliflower","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eSnow Crown cauliflower is a hybrid variety known for producing large, uniform, pure white heads (curds) typically 7-9 inches across and weighing 2-3 pounds, with tight, smooth domes that are dense and attractive with minimal side shoots. The heads have a crisp, tender texture when harvested young, and the flavor is mild, sweet, and creamy—less bitter or cabbage-like than many cauliflowers, making it one of the most appealing for fresh eating or light cooking. It's excellent steamed or roasted to preserve its delicate sweetness, pureed into creamy soups or sauces, added to stir-fries and casseroles, served raw in crudités or salads for crunch, or used in gratins and cheese bakes for its classic white appearance and mild taste. This variety is a good choice for Utah because it's one of the earliest-maturing cauliflowers available, allowing reliable head formation in our short cool-season windows with spring or fall planting, it's relatively heat-tolerant for a cauliflower (less prone to buttoning or loose heads in warmer spells), and it's consistently recommended by USU Extension as a productive, high-quality option that performs well in fertile, well-drained soil under full sun when using transplants to get ahead of temperature swings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Individual Plant","offer_id":44848939696237,"sku":"snow-cau-01","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-Pack","offer_id":44907799249005,"sku":"snow-cau-02","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Pack","offer_id":44848939663469,"sku":"snow-cau-04","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/SnowCrown.jpg?v=1773699430"},{"product_id":"purple-of-sicily-cauliflower","title":"Purple of Sicily Cauliflower","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003ePurple of Sicily is a striking Italian heirloom cauliflower that produces beautiful, vibrant purple heads with tight, deep florets that turn a rich violet-purple when exposed to sunlight.
