Ken, you initially said green portions. Looking for clarification, I
waited and read through the replies. I saw you said "leaves" in another
reply. You said, "The remains of the leaves is what I meant. About half
the weight and bulk of the cauliflower."

I'm having a hard time equating "leaves" on heads of fresh cauliflower
anywhere I've ever shopped in the US. The heads of cauliflower I buy do
have green stems up the side, which can be rather thick. But the leaves
have been cut off. The remaining stems certainly don't comprise half
the purchase price IMHO.

I can't offer suggestions since I'm not sure exactly what you're trying
to describe. Got a picture?
