Keep Cauliflower Fresh Longer: Expert Storage Tips

• Avoid washing cauliflower immediately after purchase; wash only just before cooking to prevent moisture-induced fungal growth.
• If cauliflower is washed early, ensure it is completely dry before storing in the fridge to prevent spoilage.
• Soak florets in turmeric and salt water for five minutes to prevent fungus and remove insects, then dry thoroughly.
• For fridge storage, wrap cauliflower in newspaper or a paper towel, then place it in a perforated plastic bag in the vegetable compartment.
• For long-term storage, freeze completely dry florets in an airtight zip-lock bag, removing all air, to keep them fresh for about a month.
