Mashed Cauliflower
Cauliflower, another cruciferous vegetable is in the same plant family as broccoli, cabbage and kale. Keep the cauliflower in an open plastic bag, stem side down to prevent moisture
from pooling on the florets. Wash cauliflower just before serving. Cauliflower should be prepared with in the first 3 days after pick-up. If you are not ready to serve it. Steam it to bring it to a holding point for use in a recipe a couple of days later. Less carbs than mashed potatoes….
