Which parts of the cauliflower are edible?

The flower head of the cauliflower is the edible part. This is the dense, white cluster of florets that you typically see in the grocery store.

While the stem (the thicker stalk that connects the head to the leaves) is also edible, it's often tougher and less flavorful than the florets. However, you can still use it in dishes like soups, stews, and stir-fries.

The leaves (the large green leaves that surround the head) are generally not eaten but can be used for things like making a flavorful broth.
