Robbie’s Produce Tips: Cauliflower
- No matter the color, whether white, purple, orange or green, cauliflower should be free of brown spots.
- The “jacket” of leaves should be green and look fresh. Older cauliflower will have yellow leaves.
- Choose heads, known as curds that are heavy for their size.
- To prepare, separate the heads from the core and leaves and break the heads into florets. The core can be chopped and used in cooking, too.
- Store tightly wrapped in the fridge after purchase.
