How long does it take for cauliflower to go bad?

The shelf life of cauliflower depends on how it is stored.

* Whole head of cauliflower: 5-7 days in the refrigerator.

* Cut cauliflower: 2-3 days in the refrigerator.

* Cooked cauliflower: 3-5 days in the refrigerator.

Here are some tips for storing cauliflower to help it stay fresh longer:

* Choose a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly closed florets.

* Remove any loose leaves from the cauliflower head.

* Store the cauliflower in a cool, dark place.

* If you are storing cut cauliflower, place it in a plastic bag or container with a lid.

* If you are storing cooked cauliflower, let it cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.

Cauliflower can also be frozen to extend its shelf life. To freeze cauliflower, blanch it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes and then cool it immediately in ice water. Drain the cauliflower and place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen cauliflower can be stored for up to 1 year.
