- What is a broccoli crown?
- It is the head of broccoli with most of the thick stalk cut away. You get the florets and a short stem, so there is little to trim.
- How should I store it?
- Keep it dry and cold, loosely wrapped in the refrigerator. Use it within about a week, sooner if the florets start to yellow.
- How does it compare with frozen broccoli?
- Fresh crowns keep a firmer bite and brighter color when cooked briefly. Frozen holds up longer in the freezer and is more consistent year-round.
- Is it better than buying a whole head?
- Crowns save trimming and waste, but you pay more per pound. A whole head gives you the stalk too, which is good sliced for slaw or soup.
- How much is one bunch?
- It is sold as a single bunch, one crown. The weight varies from crown to crown, so check the net weight shown.
- How do I cook it?
- Steam or blanch the florets for a few minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Roasting at high heat with oil browns the edges.
