Cauliflower is recommended for a "Low Carb" diet!
Purple Cauliflower resulted from the discovery of a purpled coloured spontaneous mutant plant in a cauliflower field in the late eighties, and years of dedicated classical breeding at the research station "Danefeld" in Denmark. Purple Cauliflower is based on a very stable source of colour formation without the problems of previous varieties. It has been tested in many temperate and subtropical areas and proved itself to be adaptable and productive.
The purple colour is due to formation of anthocyanins also found in red cabbage and in red wine. The Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences has carried out analyses showing that Purple Cauliflower contains approximately 200 times more anthocyanin than a white cauliflower exhibiting "pinking" but with exactly the same substances. Some scientists believe that anthocyanins are actually healthy compounds belonging to the group of phenolic antioxidants. Actually this is the reason why many doctors recommend drinking a glass of red wine every day....

Lousy germination,
By Julie (Creston, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Purple Cauliflower 40 Seeds -LOW CARB!- Veggie
My children and I ordered a selection of really fun seeds from you. (Hmong Red Cucumber
Black Sea Man Tomato, Rare Tigger Melon, Mexican Miniature Watermelon, Toga Striped Eggplant, Purple Cauliflower, Unwins Exhibiton 7 Pound Onion, Rare Red Bull Brussels Sprout) My germination rate has been about 25% or less. All my other seeds from other companies are doing wonderful on my tables, but my Hirt's seeds are in a category of their own, small, stunted, wimpy, or not at all. I will not be ordering from you again, and I'm sorry I wasted my money.

no plants :-(,
By parrotheadtink "*tink*" (Vacaville, CA USA! USA! USA!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Purple Cauliflower 40 Seeds -LOW CARB!- Veggie
The seeds were delivered quickly. They have not germinated, they have not sprouted in 3 weeks. I don't think I will have any purple cauliflower to eat. 40 seeds did not seem adequate. I would probably not buy from again. The purple carrot seeds I bought at the same time from a different seller DID germinate and are growing.
