Preparation & storage
Storage
Cauliflower will keep in the fridge for about a week. Keep cauliflower in the crisper section of your fridge.
In a cool place outside the fridge, cauliflower will keep for 3-5 days.
You can store cauliflower for up to 12 months in the freezer, at a minimum of -18°C. Blanch (heat briefly) raw cauliflower first for 2-6 minutes shortly before freezing.
How can I tell if cauliflower is no longer good?
Pre-cut cauliflower becomes limp, sour or mouldy. You can quickly recognise decay with your senses. So look, taste or smell well.
Preparing
Before use, remove the leaves and cut out the thick stalk.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and wash them. Tip: You can also slice the florets.
Want to cook cauliflower whole? Then cut the stalk crosswise.
