FAQ
Cauliflower mushrooms contain sparassol, which is a nutrient that is known to have anti-fungal and antibiotic properties. The mushrooms also contain beta-glucans, which are a type of dietary fiber that is believed to help boost immunity, heart health, and reduce cholesterol.
If you're planning to roast the cauliflower whole or slice it into steaks, slice off the thick stem at the base. Drop the whole cauliflower head upside-down into cool, salted water. Let it soak for 10 to 15 minutes to remove dirt, residue and bugs.
Cut your cauliflower mushrooms into chunks, then immerse them in a large bowl of cold water, using your fingers to rub the dirt out gently. Unlike most fungi, cauliflower mushrooms don't absorb much moisture, so they won't get waterlogged.
