Store
Refrigerate in plastic bags and use promptly.
Cook
Boil, braise, microwave, roast, steam, or stir fry, there are many ways to use cauliflower in your meals.
Eat
Cut into florets or leave whole. Cauliflower is best cooked for a short time until tender but still slightly crisp. Avoid overcooking as the taste will be inferior and the heads will disintegrate.
