Preserving Broccoli & Cauliflower

Host: Joanna Coles, Warren County Extension Agent for Agriculture & Natural Resources

Guest: Jennifer Bridge, Meade County Extension Agent for Family & Consumer Sciences

Topic: Preserving Broccoli and Cauliflower

Joanna Coles meets with Jennifer Bridge to discuss Broccoli, Cauliflower, and how to preserve them! Cauliflower is best stored by pickling and recipes are readily available through your local extension office! To extend the life of fresh broccoli, save money, and enjoy the best flavor and texture, consider these storage tips: Store broccoli unwashed in the refrigerator. Wash broccoli just before using it. Use fresh broccoli within three to five days. The shorter storage time will help prevent the loss of nutrients and help retain texture, flavor, and color. It is recommended to freeze broccoli in either a vacuum sealed bag or a regular resealable plastic bag. Before freezing, be sure to clean and blanch the broccoli.
