Store it in the crisper section of the refrigerator in its original packaging. Don't wash cauliflower until you're ready to cook it. Brown speckling is a sign of oxidation, which happens as a result of prolonged exposure to light and air and occurs naturally the longer cauliflower is stored. Cauliflower is considered by many to be one of the healthiest foods on Earth, and there is good reason why. With its rich supply of health-promoting phytonutrients, high level of anti-inflammatory compounds, and ability to ward off cancer, heart disease, brain disease and even weight gain, it seems there isn't much this vegetable is unable to do.
