Frozen cauliflower refers to a deep-processed vegetable product made by quickly freezing fresh cauliflower through low-temperature quick-freezing technology for long-term preservation. Using “quick-freezing” technology, it maximizes the retention of cauliflower’s nutritional value and natural flavor, with each floret maintaining a white color and a crisp, sweet taste akin to fresh cauliflower. This convenient frozen form breaks through seasonal limitations, making cauliflower a healthy fast-food option for households, catering services, and busy lifestyles. Its nutritional value matches that of fresh broccoli, while its quick preparation perfectly adapts to modern efficient living needs.

Key Advantages​

  1. Nutrient preservation: Quick-freezing locks in nutrients before cauliflower cells fully freeze, retaining over 90% of vitamin C, folic acid, and dietary fiber (fresh cauliflower loses ~30% vitamin C after 2 days at room temperature).
  2. Natural flavor: Free of artificial additives (e.g., preservatives, colorants), it retains cauliflower’s natural sweetness through blanching and quick-freezing (some products are lightly salted for flavor).
  3. Convenience: 洗浄やカットの必要はありません。解凍したフロレットは電子レンジ、蒸し器、またはエアフライヤーで調理できます（2～5分で調理完了）、忙しいライフスタイルに最適です。
  4. 新鮮なブロッコリーと同等の健康効果: Low nutrient loss (≤10%), same calories as fresh cauliflower (~25kcal/100g), and a low-calorie, high-fiber option (2.5g dietary fiber per 100g). Its health benefits match those of fresh broccoli.

Application Scenarios​

  1. Quick home meals: Thawed florets microwaved for 2 minutes, paired with cheese, tomato sauce, or olive oil garlic for “cheesy cauliflower” or “garlic cauliflower.” Also used as a salad topping (with lettuce, cherry tomatoes).
  2. Restaurant sides: ステーキやローストチキンと一緒に、あるいは子供向けの食事にも（小さなフロレットをご飯に混ぜて食べやすくします）。
  3. ヘルシーな軽食: サラダボウル（キヌア、鶏胸肉、アボカドと一緒に）やスムージー（バナナ、ほうれん草と一緒に攪拌）の主要な食材として、毎日の野菜摂取に役立ちます。

Quality Tips​

  1. －18℃以下の安定した温度で保管し、再び解凍して冷凍するのを避けてください（細胞が破裂し、食感が柔らかくなり、栄養素が損失します）。
  2. 再加熱時間を調整してください（電子レンジは中強火で2～3分、蒸し器では3～4分）。長時間高温で加熱しないよう注意してください（柔らかくなり、黄色くなる原因になります）。
