Hello, Helen, in addition to smell, the things I watch for with broccoli and cauliflower are sliminess, limpness and if the little tiny flowers/whatevers are falling off the ends. Another thing is how firmly the outer leaves (only of the cauliflower) are attached--if they can be plucked off very easily, I would be concerned.
If you have noticed none of these, I would say that if the cauliflower is still crunchy then it is still good. Hope this helps, Sherri To the other person who was curious about carrots and celery--sliminess holds true here too, and if the celery is really limp, I usually throw it out. You know the saying, when in doubt, throw it out.
