FAQs

My cauliflower is turning brown

If you used Apple Cider Vinegar and/or spices that turn your pickling liquid a darker colour, then it's possible that your cauliflower will turn brown after a while. Don’t worry, the vinegar is simply staining, and your cauliflower is still perfectly fine to eat.

We prefer using apple cider vinegar for pickling cauliflower as you get more depth of flavour. We also use dark spices like Allspice and Black Peppercorns, which means our cauliflower pickles tend to brown slightly after around 6 weeks.

My cauliflower is turning purple

Some cauliflowers are naturally higher in purple red, purple and blue pigments. These pigments can be released in the pickling process, changing the colour of the cauliflower. Your pickle is perfectly safe to eat still.
