Cauliflower head

Cauliflower floret refers to each of the small sections or florets that make up the entire head of cauliflower. This ingredient is fundamental in many recipes due to its firm texture and mild flavor, which absorbs seasonings and other ingredients very well.

Cauliflower is a vegetable belonging to the Brassicaceae family, native to the Mediterranean region, where it has been cultivated since ancient times. Currently, its cultivation is spread throughout the world, especially in Europe, America, and Asia.

In nutritional terms, the cauliflower floret is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. Furthermore, it is low in calories and contains bioactive compounds that may help reduce inflammation and promote digestive health.

In different Hispanic American countries, cauliflower and its florets may also be known as "floretes de coliflor" or simply "flores de coliflor". These terms are used to refer to the separated portion used in most recipes, from stews and soups to stir-fries and gratins.
