Broccoli

Broccoli is a green vegetable that is known for its nutritional benefits and unique flavor. It is a good source of vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants. Broccoli can be eaten raw or cooked, and is commonly used in dishes like stir-fries, salads, and soups. When selecting broccoli, look for firm, dark green florets and a sturdy stem. Avoid broccoli that has yellowing or browning florets, or is soft or slimy to the touch. Store broccoli in the refrigerator for up to a week, and wash it before use to remove any dirt or debris. To prepare broccoli, trim off the stem and separate the florets. Cut the florets into desired sizes or leave them whole for roasting or steaming.
