When broccoli that has already been harvested are left a little too long on the shelf or in the fridge the buds on the florets will start to yellow. Everyone I talked to said it was still edible.
The taste may change, so try a piece to see if it still tastes good to you.
Someone suggested it might give you gas. /p
I don't know about that.....but if it tastes OK go ahead and use it quickly.
If it starts turning brown/black and slimy, it's started to decompose.
Dispose of it in compost or just throw it in the bushes.
Help feed the other plants.
The broccoli plant, while still in your garden, will bloom and produce bright yellow flowers. These blooms are also edible and sometimes sold as a delicacy. You can use them as garnish or throw them in a salad.
Broccoli typically goes bad after about a week in the refrigerator. You can tell if broccoli is no longer safe to eat if it has a slimy texture, a strong odor, or if it has turned yellow or brown in color.
Limes turn yellow due to ripening, which is a natural process. As limes mature, they change color from green to yellow. This does not affect their taste or quality, and yellow limes are still safe to eat.
Bad broccoli will have a wilted appearance, yellowing florets, and a strong unpleasant odor. To determine if broccoli is no longer safe to eat, check for slimy or mushy texture, mold growth, or a sour smell.

Yes, black spots on broccoli stems are safe to eat. They are typically caused by a natural process called senescence and do not indicate spoilage or contamination. Simply trim off the affected areas before cooking or consuming the broccoli.

The florets are genrally eaten, but i also use the stalks pureed in soup.
you can get indigestion from anything you eat. Its all about how your stomach reacts to it, or maybe it was turning.

The part of the broccoli we eat actually consist of tiny "flowerettes". These wiil eventually produce a tiny yellow flower. Pick the broccoli before you see the little greeny balls putting out these yellow flowers. The broccoli will have an undesirable flavor if you let it go too long. Start picking the broccoli from the central head. You may develop sideshoots of broccoli after the main head is totally picked..........
Yes it is completely safe
