Can I freeze a whole cauliflower?
If you mean just stick a whole head in the freezer, you can, but you will not be happy with the results. It will get mushy and unpleasant.
Best to cut it into small pieces, blanch it and then freeze. Then the quality is much better and you can use it for many purposes.
