Our Produce
Cauliflower
At P R Bones & Son, we grow over 80 varieties of cauliflower, supplying the London wholesale markets, as well as local wholesalers and retailers. Our diverse range ensures a steady supply of high-quality cauliflower for around nine months of the year.
Typical Season: Late September – End of May
Pack Sizes: Trays of 6 or 8 heads
Cauliflower is a versatile, low-calorie vegetable with a low glycaemic index, perfect for low-carb diets. It can be enjoyed in numerous ways, including roasted, steamed, as a pizza base, in soups, curries, or pickled – or simply eaten raw.
Romanesco
Also known as Romanesco Broccoli or Roman Cauliflower, this striking lime-green vegetable dates back to 16th-century Italy. Related to both cauliflower and broccoli, its unique pointed shape and crunchy, nutty flavour make it stand out.
Perfect for steaming, stir-frying, or adding a pop of colour to salads, Romanesco is sure to spark conversation at your table.
Typical Season: October – Mid November
Pack Sizes: Trays of 6
Romanesco is a nutrient-packed vegetable, offering a great source of fibre, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Like cauliflower, it has a low glycaemic index, making it an excellent choice for those following low-carb diets or managing blood sugar levels.
Cabbage
Hispi, or Pointed Cabbage, is a popular variety known for its tightly layered leaves and sweet flavour. Favoured by chefs, it’s ideal for quartering and charring, making a fantastic vegetarian starter or main dish.
Versatile and full of flavour, Hispi is perfect for stir-fries, coleslaw, or simply steamed alongside a roast dinner.
Typical Season: October – November
Pack Sizes: Trays of 10
Packed with vitamins A and C, fibre, and antioxidants, Hispi is a healthy addition to any meal. Its low calorie and high nutrient content make it an excellent choice for those on a balanced or low-calorie diet.
Purple Cauliflower
During the early part of the season, we grow Lavender Cauliflower, a unique purple variety that adds a vibrant twist to traditional cauliflower. Its bold colour and slightly sweeter flavour make it a fantastic addition to brighten up any dish.
Typical Season: October – November
Pack Sizes: Trays of 6
Rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins (which give it its purple hue), Lavender Cauliflower offers health benefits such as supporting heart health and boosting the immune system. It’s a colourful, nutritious alternative to the classic cauliflower.
