How should I store a broccoli crown?

Keep it dry and loosely wrapped in the refrigerator crisper drawer. Use it within a few days; florets yellow and turn soft as they age.

How do I cook it without overcooking?

Steam or blanch the florets for about three to five minutes until bright green and just tender. For roasting, toss with oil and roast at high heat until the edges brown.

Yes. The crown's short stalk is edible; peel any tough outer layer and slice it, since it takes slightly longer to cook than the florets.

Is a crown better than a whole head?

A crown saves trimming and waste but gives you less stem and costs more per pound. A whole head is better value if you will use the stalk.

Is it better than frozen broccoli?

Fresh crowns give firmer texture and brighter flavor for raw or quick-cooked dishes. Frozen florets are more convenient and keep far longer.

How do I clean the florets?

Soak the crown upside down in cold water for a few minutes, then rinse between the florets. This loosens dirt and any small insects.
