It is cultivated for its compact, edible “head” or “curd,” which consists of tightly clustered, immature white flower buds (an inflorescence meristem).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eKey Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Creamy white to bright white, dense, dome-shaped or rounded curd (typically 6–10+ inches \/ 15–25+ cm across when mature). The head is surrounded by large, broad green leaves that naturally help shade and “blanch” it. The florets are firm, compact, and fine-grained.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e: The white color is achieved through \u003cstrong\u003eblanching\u003c\/strong\u003e — tying or covering the leaves over the developing head to block sunlight and prevent chlorophyll production (which would turn it green or yellowish). Modern “brilliant white” or self-blanching cultivars stay whiter even when exposed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor and texture\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mild, slightly nutty or sweet flavor with a subtle cruciferous (cabbage-like) note. Crisp-tender when raw; becomes soft and creamy when cooked.
