How can I pick fresh broccoli like an expert?!
I'm a broccoli "fanatic"!. I eat it with my lunch everyday and at least twice a week with dinner , raw almost always!. I've actually discovered the sweetness of the stems also!.
my problem is, even if I go to the best produce markets in town , I only pick the ones that last the week about half the time!.
I figure when the crown turns yellow quickly its nutritional value is gone!. Or is it!?!?
I need a crash course on broccoli buying ( a link to a website or page maybe) or someone who can just walk me through how to pick,store,and enjoy the best that this veggie can offer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
The flowerettes should be tightly packed together!. The longer the broccoli sits out the buds begin to seperate!. also, avoid soft stems and yellow buds!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
