How to store cauliflower
The best way to store cauliflower is in the refrigerator. Here are a few tips for storing cauliflower:
-
Keep it whole: Cauliflower will stay fresh longer if it is not cut. When you are ready to use it, cut off the leaves and then cut or break it into florets as needed.
-
Wrap it up: Place the whole cauliflower in a plastic bag or wrap it in plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.
-
Keep it cool: Cauliflower should be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature between 32-40°F (0-4°C)
-
Use it within a week: Whole cauliflower can last up to two weeks in the refrigerator, but it's best to use it within a week to ensure maximum freshness.
-
Cauliflower florets can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days if kept in an airtight container.
It's important to note that cauliflower can absorb odors from other foods in the refrigerator, so make sure to store it away from strong-smelling foods. Also, when storing cauliflower make sure it's dry and in a clean, airtight container to prevent contamination.
