cauliflower
White vegetable head
Cauliflower is a vegetable in the cabbage family, cultivated for its dense white head of undeveloped flower buds.
The compact mass, called the curd, is surrounded by thick green leaves.
Cauliflower can be eaten raw, roasted, steamed, or mashed as a low-carbohydrate substitute for rice or potatoes.
A cauliflower ear is one permanently swollen and misshapen from repeated blows, common among boxers and wrestlers.
