Nutritionists are constantly telling us about the benefits of broccoli, and cauliflower is not only tasty, but also healthy. How to choose tasty and fresh cabbage?
What do broccoli and cauliflower have in common? It's simple: in both cases, we buy edible inflorescences. And they need to be fresh to benefit our health.
How to choose a cauliflower?
When choosing cauliflower inflorescences, first pay attention to their color. It is important that it be even, without streaks of yellowness, as well as, of course, dark spots (this is a sign that the cabbage is already beginning to rot in full force). Of course, there are varieties of cauliflower with beige, green inflorescences, but the most common cabbage is white or milky.
Feel each inflorescence before purchasing a cauliflower. They should not be too soft, it should be easy to bend from the base to the side. The main sign of the freshness of cauliflower is that the inflorescences break off with a crunch from the base, but if they bend easily, you must understand that the cabbage is very stale.
How to choose broccoli?
The principle of choosing this edible flower is the same as in the previous case - the cabbage should be crunchy, dense, without damage or signs of decay. Do not take too large inflorescences with thick stems, such cabbage is too tough and fibrous. Choose small inflorescences with thin stems. Broccoli can also vary in color from dark green to burgundy, but dark spots or dots are completely unacceptable, as with cauliflower.
