I didn't get as many heads as I expected (wanted), but the leaves are excellent! I would describe them as a sweet tasting kale, but less cooking time...use as you would Swiss Chard.

Cauliflower - di Sicilia Violetto (30-29)
$5.00
Cauliflower di Sicilia Violetta. Regional variety from Sicily. Deep purple. Turns green when cooked. Excellent taste & looks beautiful. This is a favorite in the Seeds from Italy garden. Will form side shoots after you cut the main head; space 20 inches if you are letting it grow for side shoots since it will get quite large. Use fresh or cooked. 80 days. Spring or fall. 3.5 gram packet, approximately 900 seeds. Approximately 250-320 seeds per gram.

Here in Western Oregon I plant these in September and eat them in December and January. Our winters tend to be in the 30's and 40's with a lot of rain and these make beautiful big purple heads during the middle of our winter when it is really welcome. They're really in between broccoli and cauliflower, denser than broccoli and less dense than cauliflower but they taste great.
