Cauliflower Chinese Sprouting seeds from DT Brown

Something new or a renamed white sprouting broccoli? Like this one ? Broccoli White Sprouting (Early) Seeds|D. T. Brown Vegetable Seeds


Reminds me of the perennial Nine star cauli but that's not F1.

Looks like white sprouting broccoli but with bigger heads. May well be different plant origin arriving at very similar looking results - question is what does it taste like?

[Jungle Jane]

It looks like a new hybrid that's been developed by Tokita & took over seven years of research,thats along time. Says a broccoli hybrid so it could be very similar,just a different hybrid maybe? I wonder what it tastes like in comparison to white sprouting broccoli it should taste of cauliflower?
Attractive and versatile sweet sprouting cauliflower gets its day in the sun

Well sleuthed JJ.
Another vegetable with a multitude of names to confuse us
Taste and recipes at Biancoli, fioretto, sweet sprouting cauliflower - the new vegetable on the block, or rather the chopping board - Saucy Dressings

Now who do we know who is mad enough to try it?.....

[veggiechicken]

Normally, it would be me but........at £2.99 for 20 seeds and my miserable success with caulis, then it must be you, GL, the CauliKing

[Greenleaves]

I love a dare.....OK, I will buy the seeds and divide them between us..

[veggiechicken]

I think you'd better grow mine for me, more chance of success

Cauli ...................

Found it on sale at my local supermarket, having it with dinner tonight will report back

[veggiechicken]

Can you save seeds from it before you eat it please

[treepixie]

Well it was really nice, very delicate cauliflower flavour, will grow some next year if I can get the seeds

[veggiechicken]

That's encouraging, treepixie
Thanks for the feedback!

Stick cauli, fioretto, Biancoli and other names

Is this the next "new" vegetable to have lots of confusing names?

Sweet sprouting cauliflower

M&S call it - Artisan Biancoli Spears
Waitruse - Sweet Sprouting Cauliflower
In Japan its Karifurore
Its variety name is Fioretto
T&M sell seeds as Chinese Sweet Sprouting F1 Cauliflower (£2.49 for 15 seeds)

To me its looks like a blown cauli or white sprouting broccoli.

Has anyone tried it yet?
