The Color Purple

 I have never seen a purple cauliflower before. I was in awe over this thing when my wife brought it home. She picked it up at a local farmers market. I of course wondered if it was any different from the white cauliflower I was used to seeing and eating. 

 I looked them up and it was saying the taste was pretty much the same. I learned that there were also orange cauliflowers. I never knew this. Though they are said to taste the same the orange and purple cauliflower are higher in antioxidants than regular white cauliflower. It is the antioxidant anthocyanin that gives it the purple pigment. 

 The next step was figuring out just how I was going to cook this thing. We ended up making a purple cauliflower puree. It looked like purple mashed potatoes. I seasoned it lightly and it was delicious. I probably wouldn’t have learned about this superfood if I wasn’t into this whole exploring and experimenting with foods venture. I got to taste and learn something new and had a lot of fun doing so. 

 If you ever get the chance, try it out. For now it is all about hunting down an orange cauliflower.
