Yes. Smaller and far more expensive. That is also true of rutabaga,
kohlrabi. I don't think local farmers are growing these things any
more. Even if I see them at a farmer's market they are expensive.
Cauliflower is expensive to grow compared to other crops. It's fussy
to grow, it doesn't tolerate heat, it forms little bumps instead of a
head, so definitely a cool season crop. Seed companies are offering
smaller varieties, I suppose in response to demand.
These recipes offer something a little different. Enjoy
