10 Tips for Buying Perfect Broccoli
June10
We eat fresh broccoli all year, so I honestly didn’t know that it was a seasonal vegetable. Yep… fall to early spring, that’s when it’s at its peak.
I guess I thought that as long as the broccoli wasn’t yellow and limp, it was good to go.
No, no, no. There’s so much more to it.
Something to remember: even if you buy gorgeously green broccoli with tightly packed florets, if you overcook it you’ll loose all the nutrients. Lightly steam or microwave the broccoli until tender-crisp and you’ll preserve the cancer-fighting beta-carotene.
Here are 10 Tips for Buying Perfect Broccoli… at any time of year!
Uh-oh, I think I have been overcooking my broccoli for years! Yikes, lightly steamed, huh? I’ll try it this weekend! Thanks!
Haha! It is really how you (and those you are feeding) like it. You just don’t want to cook all the vitamins out! Thanks for stopping by!
Great advice/tips. I like my fresh veggies too. Thanks for sharing the tips.
