Fresh broccoli for simple cooking
Broccoli belongs to the cruciferous vegetable family and is mainly used for its florets, although the stalk can also be cooked once the tougher outer layer has been removed.
It works well with relatively short cooking times and pairs easily with olive oil, garlic, spices, cheese, pasta, rice and other vegetables.
How to use it
Steam or boil it without overcooking if you prefer a firmer texture. It can also be sautéed, baked with a topping or roasted in the oven.
Keep it refrigerated and use it while the florets remain firm and fresh.
