Nutrition goldmine: Not familiar with the glories of kale? It has five times the amount of Vitamin A of Swiss chard and 12 times the amount of Vitamin C than spinach. To reduce cholesterol, use fewer eggs and increase egg whites (2 egg whites for one egg).
The Or mutation in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) leads to abnormal accumulations of beta-carotene in orange chromoplasts, in tissues in which leucoplasts are characteristic of wild-type plants.

February 2005 (pr) HG/Garden/2005-04 Cauliflower in the Garden Dan Drost and Michael Johnson Summary Cauliflower is a cool season vegetable that prefers a sunny location and fertile, well-drained soil. Incorporate plenty of organic matter and a complete fertilizer into the area before planting.
The first cauliflower ear of maize was reported by Collins (Smithsonian Inst. Report Plate 25, 1937). It was a result of combining homozygous ramosa (ra ra) with heterozygous full tunicate (Tu tu) in a family segregating these two genes.
While orange cauliflower may seem unappealing to some, it has distinct nutritional advantages. Cornell researchers have identified the genetic mutation behind the unusual hue, which may lead to more nutritious staple crops, including maize, potato, rice, sorghum and wheat.
Cauliflower by Paul Muldoon Plants that grow in the dark have been developed through gene-splicing, in which light-producing bacteria from the mouths of fish are introduced to cabbage, carrots and potatoes.
Four varieties of cauliflower were grown at the Horticulture Research Center(HRC) outside of Fort Collins, Colorado during the 2004 growing season. We grew one spring crop which was started in the greenhouse on March 29th. Seeds were planted into 72-cell trays filled with Sunshine No.
