Freezing Cauliflowers

We are having excess cauliflowers this week. I only had a few minutes in the veggie patch this week before I am off to lab. This morning I see many cauliflower curds are looking very matured,

Mik helped harvest all those matured looking cauliflower today and help to keep them in the freezer today. We harvested five cauliflower curds today.

Cut into small pieces.

Blanched for about 2 minutes. The stem greenish colour is a bit different and look more softer. Before blanching it still has the crisp crunchy look.

Seal and pack ready to be frozen with label as a reminder. Five time meal for us and ready to be prepared anytime. I have not google yet on how long we could keep it frozen but I think at least 6 months should be fine.

We only had cauliflower last year in August and it was not enough to preserve them. We had to wait almost a year to taste our own home grown cauliflower again.This year hopefully we could prolong the cauliflower production in our veggie patch.

BANZAI!!! We already have frozen cauliflower pack that could be our saviour when nothing edible is in the patch or  for whenever we have cauliflower craving in summer or autumn.

I don’t have a scale to know how many kilos I have harvested so far for cold season brassicas.

But this is a harvest tally memo up till today;

Broccoli ~ 10 curds

Cauliflower ~ 10 curds

Bolted Wong Bok ~ 14 plants (sigh)
