Is it normal for cauliflower to be fuzzy?
Online Answer
The likely culprit is a spike in temperatures that top out at 80°F around the time of curd formation. The stressed and confused plant tries to flower when it should be producing a curd, or reverts back to vegetative growth in the middle of curd formation. The physical manifestation of this is a fuzzy appearance.
