The production of pearl cauliflower has a history of more than 100 years, and it was during the Revolution that it became truly famous. After the Jute Uprising in November 1927 and the defeat of the Great Revolution, the Red Army retreated to the mountains, where there was not much food to eat, only a small number of sweet potatoes to satisfy hunger. Later the warriors found a small shrub plant, and it was huge in number, with a lot of young leaves on it. At first, they didn't know if they could eat it, so they ate branches and leaves in winter, and in spring they tried to pick the flowers on the trees to eat, and after eating for a while, they found that this flower was not only non-toxic, but also tasted good, and the Red Army soldiers were full of strength after eating it, and then they threw themselves into the battle of heroic killing, and since then this cauliflower has become famous here. Later, the Red Army called this flower pearl cabbage.
