Psychedelic Veggies


Just when you thought you’d seen everything, along comes Purple Cauliflower. Sold under the name of Foxy CauliColor, this purple variety is combined with yellow, orange and white cauliflower to turn ordinary veggies into an extraordinary meal. I bet even your kids will love these fun colors.

The purple variety of cauliflower was developed by a Dutch company and is 10 times higher in antioxidants than the white variety. The Grocers Review has a great article giving a brief history of this unique veggie and outlining some of its health benefits.

Sold nationally, at Giant, Dierbergs, Piggly Wiggly, Whole Foods and ShopRite grocery stores, the 9.5 oz. bag or 9.6 oz. pack cost $3.00. Of course, cauliflower is not just great as a side dish, but makes a wonderful meal.

And while you’re thinking of all the great things you can do with CauliColor mix, check out some of our great recipes at Recipe4Living.
