When you bring it home, leave it in the bag it came in, or store in a perforated bag in the crisper of your refrigerator for up to 5 days. Store it with the stem side down to prevent moisture from collecting in the florets.
Step2
Keep cauliflower white while cooking by adding a tablespoon of milk or lemon juice to the cooking water. This is especially necessary if you have alkaline water. In addition, don't cook your cauliflower in an aluminum or iron pot; the chemical makeup of cauliflower will react with the metal and turn the vegetable yellow or to a blue-green color.
Step3
Protect cauliflower from brown spots in your home garden by tying the leaves of the plant over the head. This will protect it from the sun's rays and keep the cauliflower nice and white. Because of the consumer's desire for white cauliflower, farmers have to spend more time in the field protecting cauliflower in this way, which is why it's more expensive than broccoli or cabbage.
