Taiwan unveiled a new strain of purple cauliflower on Tuesday, which researchers said can be harvested 10-20 days earlier than ordinary cauliflower.
The vegetable, dubbed Tai Nong No.1, which needs only 55-65 days to mature, is the result of 33 years of effort, said Lo Hui-ling, an assistant researcher at the Fengshan Tropical Horticultural Experiment Branch.
Through heat tolerance breeding, Lo told CNA, her team developed a strain that is suitable for Taiwan's weather and Taiwanese tastes.
