Buying frozen broccoli and cauliflower florets from Egypt
Floret size is what buyers discuss most, because it decides both cooking time and how the plate looks. We cut broccoli florets by hand in two ranges, 20–40 mm for vegetable mixes, soups and ready meals and 40–60 mm for side dishes and buffet service, and cauliflower at 40–60 mm. Hand cutting gives a cleaner crown and fewer broken pieces than machine cutting. The Egyptian winter crop runs December to March, which fills the gap when northern European supply is finished, and IQF keeps the florets separate so a kitchen uses only what it needs.
