Heirloom seeds are full of surprises, and Macareta Green cauliflowers prove the point. The heads are quite large, but it's the fresh, light-green colour that will enchant you. You're also likely to enjoy the shorter cropping time this variety offers. This oldie-but-goodie cauliflower variety harks from Southern Italy, tolerates frost, and is good to eat both raw and cooked. To preserve the colour, tie the leaves up over the heads.
