The UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County Office is pleased to announce that the November “Plant of the Month” is cauliflower.
A cup of fresh cauliflower has 25 calories, 0 grams of total fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 5 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of protein, and 30 milligrams of sodium. Cauliflower is also high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that plays a key role in the body’s immune system.
November is a good time to grow cauliflower in North Central Florida. Check the
Plant of the Month website for information on planting, harvesting, recipes, and more. Listen to the
Extension Cord Podcast to get further insights on the Plant of the Month.
The Plant of the Month program is a collaborative effort between the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners, UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County, Alachua County Master Gardener Volunteers, Alachua County Public Library, and Working Food.
