Marketside Broccoli Florets, 12 oz vs Fresh Broccoli 1lb

Buy the Marketside florets if you want zero prep and a bag that steams in the microwave in about three minutes. Buy the whole 1 lb head if you want more usable broccoli for the same dish, stems included, and don't mind trimming it yourself. Marketside wins on convenience and consistency; the whole head wins on yield and versatility. Reviewers rate the florets well, but cut florets dry out and brown faster than an intact head, so eat them within a few days.

• Choose the Marketside Broccoli Florets if you want washed, cut florets that steam in the bag and go straight from fridge to plate.
• Choose the Fresh Broccoli 1 lb if you want the most edible broccoli per purchase and will use stems in stir-fries, soups or roasting.
