Buffalo Cauliflower

Buffalo Cauliflower is a delicious, spicy dish that, unfortunately, doesn't have a very long shelf life. Whether you make it yourself or buy it pre-made, you're looking at a lifespan of about 3-5 days in the refrigerator. When frozen, Buffalo Cauliflower can last up to 2 months.

With Buffalo Cauliflower, start by checking the appearance. If you see mold or an off-color, it's time to toss it. Give it a good sniff next - the smell of bad cauliflower is tough to miss; it will smell sour or somewhat like ammonia. If it has become mushy or slimy to the touch, that's your final sign it's no longer safe to consume.

• Store in an airtight container. This helps protect it from moisture and other contaminants. • Avoid keeping Buffalo Cauliflower at room temperature for prolonged periods. Bacteria thrive at these temperatures and can shorten its lifespan. • If you're not going to eat the leftover Buffalo Cauliflower within a few days, consider freezing it. Before freezing, let it cool completely, then place it in a freezer-safe, airtight container. To defrost, move it to the fridge for 24 hours before you're ready to reheat and serve. • For best taste, reheat Buffalo Cauliflower in the oven or air fryer over medium heat - microwaving can make it a bit soggy.
