Orange cauliflower, also known as cheddar cauliflower, is a variety of cauliflower with a bright orange color. This distinctive hue comes from its higher beta-carotene content, a natural pigment that is a precursor to vitamin A. Orange cauliflower has a similar texture and taste to white cauliflower, but it is slightly sweeter and creamier. It can be eaten raw, steamed, roasted, or added to a variety of dishes, offering both a visual appeal and additional nutritional benefits. Its vibrant color remains even after cooking, making it a colorful addition to salads, soups, and side dishes.
