Are there black spots in cauliflower to eat?
Cauliflower has black spots, so you can eat it safely by cutting off the black spots.

There are usually two reasons why there are black spots on broccoli:

1, one reason is that the temperature and light are not suitable, which leads to the formation of anthocyanins in cauliflower, and the color changes from white to yellow and even black, which makes it look unclean.

2. Another reason is sooty blotch caused by pests and diseases, such as aphids, whiteflies and other pests crawling on cauliflower, whose secretions will lead to cauliflower disease.

Cauliflower has a small area of black spots, so you can continue to eat as long as you cut off the damaged part, but you can't eat it when it turns black in a large area.

Precautions for preservation of cauliflower:

1. In seasons with suitable temperature and humidity, such as spring and autumn, cauliflower can be stored at room temperature for 10~20 days, and it can only be stored for 3~5 days in summer with high temperature and humidity.

2, cauliflower should not be stored for too long, otherwise it will not only be stale, but also naturally age, that is, after ripening. Not only cauliflower, but also eggplant and cucumber should not be stored for too long.

In addition, if the cauliflower is put in the refrigerator and wrapped with clean paper, it can absorb water and prolong the shelf life. Keep it in a fresh-keeping bag, and remember to stick a few small holes to avoid condensation of dew inside. If there is dew, cauliflower will go bad faster. You should eat now, buy now, and don't "stock up".
