I eat mine when they're a bit past their best. They're not very crisp, mind, so I tend to hide them in a curry.

You could always use them to make cauliflower soup if they're well past their best, or hide them in a cauliflower cheese.

[chrissie B]

Dont know if past their best yet still tinged with green

[crh75]

From what you describe, they sound past there best. But as mentioned not a loss.

[Snoop]

Often, when caulis go over, they tend to open up a bit (not tight curds), which is what I understood by 'loose'. When you touch them, do they feel firm or a bit rubbery? If they're rubbery, they're past their best but they're still edible.

Did eat them and they were tasty , dont know why they were loose as there is some tkght ones as well and all planted at the same time

It happens. Growing veg isn't an exact science so you can expect the unexpected. Part of the fun.  Cauli, tarragon and tomato soup is very naice 

I like them in spicy food though as cauli is a great carrier. Bit bland so it needs help    Lotty pakora. Mmmmmmm

[chrissie B]
