Our take on the Broccoli
Broccoli is a green vegetable from the cabbage family, sold fresh by the head or by weight. It has thick stalks and tightly packed florets that turn tender when steamed, roasted or stir-fried. It is a staple for home cooks because it works in almost any dish and keeps for about a week in the fridge. Compared with other green vegetables, it holds its shape well when cooked and carries sauces without turning soft.

Questions and answers
- How should I store broccoli to keep it fresh?
- Keep it unwashed in a loosely open bag in the refrigerator crisper drawer. It stays firm for about a week; wet florets spoil faster.
- Can I eat the stalks?
- Yes. Peel the tough outer layer and slice the stalks, then cook them a few minutes longer than the florets. They are good roasted or in stir-fries.
- What is the best way to cook it?
- Steam florets for about four to five minutes until bright green and just tender. Roasting at high heat with oil gives crisp edges and a nuttier flavor.
- How do I pick a good head?
- Look for tight, dark green florets and firm stalks with no yellowing or soft spots. Yellowing florets mean it is past its best.
- Can I freeze broccoli?
- Yes. Blanch florets for about two minutes, cool in ice water, drain and freeze. Frozen broccoli softens, so use it in soups, stews and bakes rather than as a side.
- Where is the Broccoli cheapest?
- At Youngs Farm, for $6.50, as of our latest check.
