Yes, broccoli can be frozen and is often sold this way at supermarkets.
You can freeze this vegetable. You need to blanch it first. Blanching means to submerge the vegetable in boiling water for a few minutes. After blanching, give the vegetable a bath in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain the vegetable, place in an airtight container and freeze.
