Some cauliflower is not right or left (6)

I believe the answer is:

floret

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some cauliflower' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'not right or left' is the wordplay.
'not right' is an anagram indicator.
'or'+'left'='orleft'
'orleft' with letters rearranged gives 'FLORET'.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for floret that I've seen before include "Part of a cauliflower or broccoli head" , "Small flower" , "Broccoli stem" , "Piece of broccoli" , "Part of cauli head" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
