Cauliflower Snowball Self – Blanching

Description

Born somewhere between cyprus and upper arab countries, Cauliflower Snowball Self – Blanching reached USA by Italian immigrants around early 1800s. After that, this vegetable became a popular variety among gardeners, and didn’t miss from anyone’s garden. This cauliflower protects itself from the elements by curling its leaves around its 6-9 Inch snow-white head until it’s ready for consumption, and that’s very handy for home growers because it doesn’t require tying.
