cauliflowers
Pale broccoli cousins
Cauliflowers is the plural of cauliflower, a vegetable with a dense head of white florets surrounded by green leaves.
The head, called the curd, is eaten raw or cooked: She roasted the cauliflowers with olive oil and garlic.
Like broccoli, it's a cultivar of wild cabbage bred for its edible flower clusters.
