- How should I store a bunch of broccoli?
- Keep it unwashed in a loosely open bag in the refrigerator crisper drawer. Use it within a few days, before the florets start to yellow.
- Can I eat the stalk?
- Yes. Peel the tough outer layer and slice the stalk; it cooks a little slower than the florets, so give it a head start.
- What is the best way to cook it?
- Roast it at high heat with oil for browning, or steam it briefly for a tender-crisp result. Avoid long boiling, which makes it mushy and dulls the color.
- How much broccoli is in a bunch?
- A bunch is typically one head with its stalk attached, enough for a side dish for two to four people depending on size.
- Is broccoli good for you?
- It is a well-known source of fiber, vitamin C and vitamin K, and it is low in calories. Cooking methods that add oil or sauce change the overall balance.
- Where is the Fresh Broccoli, bunch cheapest?
- At The Moorings BVI, for $9.05, as of our latest check.
