Cauliflower, and all cruciferous vegetables, can give off a bitter, funky smell when you cook them – so we’re adding some acid from lemon juice to help combat the funky aroma cauliflower can give off.

Baking in the oven also helps to reduce cauliflower cooking smells by slow-roasting, giving it a nice nutty aroma, instead of a bitter smell.
