Broccoli Crowns-approx 1 lb vs Fresh Broccoli Crowns 5 lb

Both are fresh US-grown broccoli crowns; the only real difference is quantity and packaging. Product A is a single head of about a pound, good for one or two meals. Product B is a 5 lb bag of roughly 6 heads, better for families, meal preppers or anyone who cooks broccoli several times a week. Broccoli is perishable, so B only wins if you will eat or freeze it within about a week; otherwise A wastes less.

• Choose the 1 lb broccoli crowns if you cook for one or two people and want a head or two for the next few days.
• Choose the 5 lb broccoli crowns if you go through broccoli fast, feed a family, or plan to blanch and freeze part of the bag.
