“Cauliflowers really are at their best over winter,” says Graham Gee, senior buyer at the Happy Apple in Melbourne. “They’re big, they’re dense and they’re weighty.”
At the Happy Apple, whole cauliflowers are selling for $3.10. At The Good Grocer stores in Perth they’re going for $4.99 each, and at supermarkets they’re $3.50 each. In terms of quality, the “really good stuff” is coming from southern Australia, says Gee, specifically the Werribee and Peninsula regions.
