Broccoli turns yellow primarily due to the flowering process, which occurs when the plant matures and reaches the end of its growing cycle. Factors such as stress from heat, inadequate water, or nutrient deficiencies can accelerate this process. Yellowing can also indicate that the broccoli is overripe or past its peak freshness. Consuming broccoli before it turns yellow ensures better flavor and nutritional value.
