Frozen cauliflower
Mild and slightly grassy, softer in texture once cooked than fresh cauliflower.
Lens analyzedFrozen cauliflower is cauliflower florets blanched and frozen shortly after harvest, giving it a longer shelf life than fresh while keeping most of its texture for roasting, steaming, or blending into a rice substitute. It cooks faster than fresh cauliflower since blanching has already softened it slightly.
Where it comes from
Flash-freezing vegetables shortly after harvest became standard practice through the 20th century as a way to lock in a vegetable's peak-season texture year-round, and cauliflower followed the same path as peas, corn, and other frozen staples.
Buying it
Check the bag for large ice crystals or clumping, both signs it has thawed and refrozen at some point.
Storing it
Clip or twist the bag shut and squeeze out extra air each time you scoop some out, since trapped air is what causes freezer burn.
Keeps about 1 year in the freezer.
