Green Stem Cauliflower

Green-stem cauliflower, often sold as Taiwanese or loose-curd cauliflower, forms an open, airy head of small florets on long, pale green stems. Song TJS-65 is a fast hybrid, ready in about 40 days from transplant. The florets cook quickly and evenly, and their tender stems have a sweet, mild flavor that works well in stir-fries and roasted dishes. Because the head is loose, it handles heat better than dense white types and doesn't need to be blanched or wrapped. It's a good choice for warm-season plantings.
