General
Cauliflower is a wonderfully nutritious vegetable. I like to alternate between using broccoli and Cauliflower.
Cauliflower florets can contain germs and bug. One method to eliminate these germs and bugs is to blanch the cauliflower in some boiling salted water before juicing. Plunging vegetables into boiling salted can help clean the vegetables of germs and bugs that cannot be removed by normal washing.
In traditional Chinese cooking, vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower are often blanched for this very reason.
Not all vegetables need to be blanched but those with tight florets are good candidates for blanching before juicing.
Of course, not everyone will want to do this because they will fear that the nutrition will disappear and certainly, some nutrition will leave. But not a significant amount to be concerned about.
Ultimately, whether you blanch or not is a personal choice but it is definitely a method to help kill germs and bug before juicing.
