CHINESE CAULIFLOWER*

Selection

• Chinese cauliflower with a head of florets that are tightly closed and consistent color of cream white.
• Both the head and the stem are firm to hand pressure.
• Check the bottom of the Chinese cauliflower stalk for a smooth cut, without any signs of hollow-core/hollow stem.

Storage

• Chinese cauliflower should be stored at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-five to ninety-eight percent with a light mist.
• The typical shelf life is two to three weeks. Higher temperature reduces shelf life, with seven to ten days of shelf life at 41°F (5°C), five days of shelf life at 50°F (10°C), and three days of shelf life at 59°F (15°C). High humidity is important to avoid wilting.
• Chinese cauliflower is extremely sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Chinese cauliflower should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid curd discoloration, leaf yellowing, and abscission. Chinese cauliflower produces a very low level of ethylene.
• Chinese cauliflower is not sensitive to chilling injury but is likely to be harmed by freezing injury, which appears as water-soaked areas, curd softening, and gray-brown discoloration if held below 30.6°F (0.8°C).
