Home | Category: Foods -- Vegetables Foods -- VegetablesWhy does cauliflower turn dark during cooking?Rating: 30 Colorless leucoanthocyanins turn purple as the vegetable grows. When these purple pigments are heated they may break down and cause a gray discoloration. Cauliflower also may turn dark in response to iron in the water or utensils. If you have problems with frozen cauliflower turning brown, use 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice per gallon of water in the blanching water.
