I had to do a project on cauliflower, I learned a lot of good information about it.
These are the questions to answer to get awesome info.
The nutritional value,Preparation,What part do we eat,History,Grown and harvested, And recipes. The best place to go is fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov.
Then click on fruit and veggie of the month scroll down and click on cauliflower and there is all the info you need.

eilenn: Thankfully, I haven't been visited by cabbage worm, so I don't have an answer. Flea beetles are the scourge of the brassicas here, I absolutely have to use floating row cover over seedling transplants or the FBs would eat them to the stem.

[...] Purple Cauliflower as my newbie. Violet Queen is a variety of cauliflower that I learned about from Tiny Farm Blog. It grows bright purple heads that look like broccoli! I have never grown purple cauliflower before [...]

Sarah, veggie colors come from pigments. It's all genetics, like different colors of hair or eyes or skin or whatever.Information about veggie colors is interesting! I don't keep much track of veggie nutritional value, though there's a lot of info on it, because I don't feel it's all that useful for me to say stuff like, "oh, eat kale 'cause it's high in this or that, which is good for this or that." What do I really know?! But it's still cool how the different pigments seem to have different nutritional and health properties, so it's good to eat veggies by colors, a really colorful plate is better...You can try searching in Google or Yahoo! for something like "vegetable color nutrition". Here are a couple of interesting links: Colour is the key and Benefits of a Variety of Fruits and Vegetables.
