Do you wash cauliflower before you cook it?

[Anonymous]

The ones that come already wrapped in plastic?

[Anonymous]

Always.

[Anonymous]

Yes, I rinse it briefly.

[Anonymous]

No. Especially if I am high heat roasting. It'll just steam otherwise and not brown.

[Anonymous]

Yes. And the last time I bought cauliflower, I found a tiny live slug on it. I'm glad I didn't roast and eat the slug!

I wash everything in the fruit and veggie domain before eating or cooking.

[Anonymous]

Yes.

That's not true. Its extremely non-porous. You could soak the thing in water and still get it to brown.

I boil it so I assume everything bad would be killed off.

same here.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, I wash everything. Even pre-washed bagged greens.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely. There can be slugs and bugs hidden inside.

[Anonymous]

I do but I wouldn't mind if I ate a bug. Extra protein!!! Bugs are good for you.

[Anonymous]

Yes - I wash it.

I will usually rinse stuff, but am less concerned if it's something that's going to be cooked thoroughly. I'm not crazy about bugs, but a little digested dirt is inevitable in life, and totally harmless.
