Herbal & culinary notes
Low calorie, vitamin C, and glucosinolates typical of crucifers. Don't boil to mush. Roast.
How to store
Fridge crisper, unwashed, in a loose bag. Use within ~5 days. Cut florets spoil faster.
Food safety
Wash and check the core for hidden browning/mold. Cook or refrigerate promptly after cutting.
Food hazards
Produce contamination risk if eaten raw without washing. Sulfurous smell when overcooked is quality, not a hazard.
