While Jenn was shopping for groceries, she found this!
Ever heard of 'PURPLE' cauliflower?
I've heard of broccoflower, but evidently
more crazy experiments have been going on behind our backs!
Now there's orange, green, purple, and of course white cauliflowers!
Actually, the 'rainbow cauliflowers' were not genetically engineered. Nope, some people just have a lot of time on their hands and these garish veggies have come about after decades of traditional selective breeding.
However, you can't say it wasn't just for kicks (which I'm sure was a big part of it), but they've found that the orange cauliflower has 25x the concentration of beta carotene than in normal white cauliflower! Well, that's nothing to gawk at! Now there's a nice alternative to carrots...
(which actually comes in white, yellow, or purple, too!)
At least it makes eating your rainbow much, much easier!
