cauli

White broccoli cousin

Cauli is an informal shortening of cauliflower, the vegetable with tightly clustered white florets.

The clipped form appears frequently in casual speech and food writing: cauli rice, roasted cauli, cauli wings.

It reflects the vegetable's rise as a low-carb substitute for rice, pizza crust, and other starchy foods.
