Green varieties, also known as âbroccoflowerâ, have a lime green head that retains the texture and density of a classic cauliflower head, but with the chlorophyll of broccoli. This blend between broccoli and cauliflower is more cauliflower than broccoli, with a sweeter flavor than both.eyond the obvious differences in color and taste, they also have very different growing habits. Broccoli grows upwards and outwards, forming bunches of tiny green florets. Cauliflower, on the other hand, is a dense, compact head formed from the undeveloped flower buds of a cabbage plant.
