Best fresh broccoli crowns

Top pick: Fresh Whole Green Broccoli Crowns (1 each) — sold at the most stores of anything here, so it's the easiest to actually get delivered, and it's fresh, never frozen, whole crowns with a stated week of shelf life. The 4.2-star rating from tens of thousands of shoppers is the only real review signal in this set.

Who the others suit:

• Organic 2 lb crowns — if you want organic and mostly floret with little stem; a bigger bag for meal prep.
• 1 lb crowns — a simple, predictable single-pound buy if you cook a head or two at a time.
• 5 lb bag (~6 heads) — for a family or batch roasting; buy only if you'll use it within the week.
• 20 lb case — restaurant or bulk canning volume, not a home order.

Skip anything sold by the "each" without a stated weight if you need a set amount.
