My broccoli has black dots on the stems!!! What is this?! Can I still eat it?!


Question:

My broccoli has black dots on the stems!!! What is this?! Can I still eat it?

Sometimes when I buy broccoli, it has tiny little black dots that look a little bit oblong on the stem. What is this? Should I still eat it? Is it bug eggs? I don't think that they're raised. Otherwise, the broccoli looks normal.

Please help ASAP because I'm cooking with it tonight! Thanks!

getting moldy

Don't sound too good. I would not eat it, I have never eaten broccoli like that. Toss it out.

I think it might be mould but if you contuinually by it like that why dont you ask your green gocer? I would cut it off, wash well and boil to cook to make sure you kill any possible bacteria.

I would be safe and just buy a new one...you never know what it could be for sure!

Better to be safe then sorry.... I would pass!!
Give them to your neighbors.... J/K

I would say it's growing mold...I wouldn't eat it, myself. Then again I do hate brocolli.

Trim it off. You could still cook it. It should be alright.

who cares. all i know is that it will make you grow taller ....that for sure...Trust me

It might be mold, please dont eat it!
