CAULIFLOWER - Nutritious and Deeeeeelicious!
Good-quality cauliflower will have white or slightly off-
white heads that are firm with no space between the curds.
The leaves should be fresh and green. There is no quality
difference between large and small heads.
Avoid cauliflower that is soft or wilting, has ivory to
light brown coloring or that has small dark spots on the
curds. Keep cold and humid and use as soon as possible.
* If boiling cauliflower, adding a teaspoon of fresh lemon
juice to the water will maintain the white color.
