Cauliflower

Peak Season: September to November

Perfect Pick: Ivory white and compact florets with no dark spotting on them or the leaves. The leaves should be verdant and perky.

Handle with Care: Refrigerate, unwashed, in a plastic bag for up to 1 week. If light brown spots develop on the florets, shave off with a paring knife before cooking.

The Payoff: Detoxifying compounds called isothiocyanates, which offer protection against aggressive forms of prostate cancer.
