Cauli's turning turning purple

yodapete · « **on:** July 29, 2008, 13:05 »

Help!! My first ever successful year at growing cauliflower. Two rows of beatiful white heads(' serac 'and 'all year round' ) Planted too many of course but others are reaping the benefit. Now I've noticed the curds are developing a purple tinge. Are they still safe to eat? and what causes this? Bit of an anti climax to my first ever success with cauli's. Anyone any suggestions?

As far as I know they're safe to eat. To keep them white, gather up the leaves over the curds and secure with a rubber band or bit of twine.
