Cauliflower is a versatile and delicious vegetable that is used for a wide variety of dishes including curries, fritters as well as snacks. However, not storing this vegetable with care could spoil its florets quickly.
Store whole, unwashed cauliflower heads in a loosely closed bag for proper air circulation, preventing moisture build-up and spoilage.
If you've already cut your cauliflower into florets, store them in an air-tight container for minimal contact with surroundings.
When storing cauliflower, always keep its stem-side up, this helps draw moisture away from the florets, keeping them firm for longer.
Storing the florets in a damp paper towel is another easy way to prevent your cauliflower from rotting or browning.
Avoid washing the cauliflowers after bringing them home from the market. Clean it just before it's ready to use.
Store your cauliflower away from ethylene-producing fruits such as bananas, apples, and melons to prevent quick spoilage..
