Buying Cauliflower

When buying fresh cauliflower, look for heads that are compact and are free from yellow or brown spots. The leaves should be crisp and green. To store, don’t wash but wrap tightly in a paper towel, place it in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you’re ready to use, wash and remove the leaves at the base and cut off the stem. If yellow or brown spots have appeared, remove by cutting them off.
