Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to eat broccoli raw or cooked?
Both have benefits. Raw broccoli retains more vitamin C, while light steaming makes certain antioxidants more bioavailable and keeps most nutrients intact. Avoid boiling as it can leach nutrients into the water.
How can I tell if broccoli has gone bad?
Fresh broccoli should have firm, dark green florets. Signs of spoilage include yellowing florets, a soft or slimy texture, and an unpleasant odor.
