Introduction: When selecting cauliflower, many people believe that the whiter and firmer it is, the more tender it will be. However, this is not the case. A looser head of cauliflower with a slightly yellowish color actually has a better texture.
Cauliflower is divided into two types depending on its place of origin in the North and South. Northern cauliflower is white and its florets are relatively compact. In contrast, Southern cauliflower has a yellowish-green hue and its florets are looser. From a culinary perspective, cauliflower grown in the South has a more tender texture and, when stir-fried, it is more fragrant and delicious.
Therefore, when buying cauliflower, choose those with a deeper, slightly yellowish color and a looser shape for a more tender result.
