I finally decided to try the recipe for cauliflower fried rice. Yesterday I went to my nearest Winco, and cauliflower was $5.00 a head!! There was even little black spots on them. Needless to say I did not purchase any. Whats up with that?

California's drought may have something to do with this.0 -
Yeah up to $6 here... Sigh...0

Buy frozen cauliflower. Same thing, but cheaper.0

Get the frozen. It's much cheaper and works fine for the rice.0

It's down to,the weather. It's been a bad year for caulies.0

I still can't believe it when I read on hear about the price of caulis in America. We pay 49p in the UK.0

I was just shocked by this myself yesterday! For something like the rice I would definitely opt for frozen too.0

I would say weather and demand. Cauliflower is one of those "miracle foods" touted for its extra fiber.
I say fool the marketing gods and pick a barely known veggie from the shelf, like a squash or a turnip.
Locally there's been a sudden run on butter as demand shifted, and related shortages. Fats aren't seen as the baddies any more. I saw a pound of unsalted butter marked at $12.0 -
...or, *gasp* make rice fried rice. Maybe add a little wild rice or balsamic vinegar to jazz it up.0

A few days ago, the grocery store I went to had a sign saying that they were having trouble sourcing broccoli and cauliflower due to weather in California. They were selling what they had for $3/pound.
Then I went yesterday and it was $1.25 a pound, go figure. I also now have around 5 pounds of cauliflower waiting to be cooked...0 -
Where I am you are lucky to find cauliflower under $7! This global warming will be adding to even higher food prices.
I buy frozen now.0 -

Yep, global warming0 -
I buy frozen too but I haven't dared making roasted cauliflower with it, honestly. Today it was only $3 a head at the store but they're so tiny you could buy 2 bags of frozen at $2 for the same amount...0

I use real rice. It tastes delicious.
For cauliflower I buy frozen if the cost is up. Frozen I can get for 98cents per bag and fresh for $4 a head.0 -

The only time cooked califlower has been palatable to me is when making a dish that involves cauliflower, heavy cream and shredded cheese. Other than that, raw is the way to go for me.
It really isn't a substitute for rice, or hash browns, or whatever monstrosities others make out of it that are meant to replace potatoes and other starches.0 -
Frozen is just as good! Do you have a Trader Joe's? They have frozen cauliflower rice and it is cheap!0

It's probably out of season in your area, though even in season it's pretty high where I live.
Frozen is much cheaper.0 -
The equivalent of one dollar per head here. Just had some for lunch. I will cook rice later this week, and it will be made from rice.0
