Cauliflower - useful and vegetable diet. And as a rare exception to this rule - delicious. At least the usual cabbage she is not a competitor. But if stored properly, you can pamper yourself with vitamins throughout the winter.

If you want to keep the cauliflower as long as possible, you can use the typical methods of cabbage - hang stumps in the basement.

There is an easier way - to shift the stem slide in the basement. It is said that this method allows you to keep the cabbage, two or three months.




It is more difficult for those who have no cellar. In this case it is necessary to sacrifice freshness - pickle head. For this pre-peeled and washed cabbage pour the boiling water, stand a half hour, closing the lid. Then drain the water, to dry give the cabbage and pour cool boiled brine at the rate of a glass of salt for three to four cups of water. Brine should completely cover cabbage.

After the cabbage in brine is cool, cover with a wooden circle it and put it on the press. Stored this cabbage in cold rooms (on the balcony, loggia) or on ice. Before use, rinse it under running water.

In a specially dug pit digging furrows filled with water and tightly planted cauliflower. Under a discarded window frame, not compete with plastic windows, go down to 35-50 plants.
