What is cauliflower?

Cauliflower is a member of the cabbage family. You might know its family members: cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale and turnip. Cauliflower is technically an edible flower. A head of cauliflower is known as the curd. When cauliflower is growing, it looks more like its collard green cousin until it begins to grow its characteristic head. 

How to pick cauliflower at the store?

Since cauliflower bruises easily, you should look for a tightly packed head with even color. Cauliflower is white and can also be purple, orange, and green varieties.

How long can you keep your soup in the fridge?

Any leftover soup can be kept in the fridge for two to three days. I will always smell or taste a little bit of the soup before reheating it. When in doubt, do not eat it again.

Storing cauliflower

Cauliflower can be kept dry and covered in the fridge for a few weeks. When you cut it, cover it with a paper towel and store it in a plastic bag. You can also freeze cauliflower, but the texture will be less crisp when thawed. Frozen cauliflower can be used for soups or purées.
