There are a few human foods you can give a bunny: lettuce, apples, carrots, and pears, that's all I can think of right now. Only give the bunny tny, tiny portions at a time. Make these foods a treat, not a daily meal.

Countable as what? Personally, I like eating cauliflower (either with or without a cheese sauce), but my wife can't stand the smell! It is another vegetable that can be added to your five a day, enjoy.

Is broccoli kosher?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While the broccoflower is a recent hybrid, it is still a vegetable. As a fruit of the field and one that is not genetically altered, it is just as kosher as yellow corn...which is also a hybrid. Naturally bred vegetables, even if cross pollinated by hand, are kosher to eat. If they breed true to the cross breed, ie hybrid, they are considered kosher.

Broccoli should be tender with a little bite when cooked right. However, when it is overcooked the color darkens and becomes crumbly when you bite into it.

How do you make Italian sausage stuffe d with broccoli rabe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While I like the first part of your answer...it is a vegetable and I suggest you PREPARE it one of two ways...blanch it in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then shock it in cold (ice) water to stop the cooking, then saute it in olive oil that has been seasoned by sauteing about 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and some red pepper flakes. Or you can simply trim it and saute it in the oil, the pre-blanch and shock method does usually produce a nicer looking product helping maintain the green color...season with salt and pepper or toss with some pasta...either way is good.

You don't make it. It's a green vegetable you either buy or grow. If you have broccoli rabe, trim the tough stalks and simmer the vegetable in water with a little salt; when it's tender drain and cook gently in butter.

Can you lose weight by eating just steamed broccoli?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you make a drastic change in your diet, you may lose weight initially, but it is unhealthy in the long run and you would gain it all back (and sometimes more) once you started eating other foods again.

You can improve your diet if you include steamed broccoli and other vegetables in your diet, as well as fruit. You should also consider consuming less animal products, processed foods, sugary snacks, and alcohol (which is just empty calories).

Also, remember to exercise! The simplest things, such as taking walks and doing aerobics while watching TV can help.

How much frozen broccoli is 1 cup to raw broccoli?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1 cup. I don't think broccoli significantly expands or shrinks during freezing. You might be able to cram a bit more raw broccoli into a cup, because it is more flexible, but again probably not significantly more.

Sesame noodles

1 lb uncooked spaghetti noodles

1/2 c creamy peanut butter

2 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 Tbls sesame seeds

1/4 cup warm water

broccoli florets

1 cup sugar snap peas sliced

Cook spaghetti as directed on package. Combine peanut butter, vinegar, sesame oil, soy, and the jalapeño in the blender add the warm water to thin as necessary. (I taste at this point and adjust if needed) When the noodles are done drain and pour on the sauce. Add the chopped up vegetables and stir thoroughly. Put into a pretty bowl and serve room temp with the sesame seeds on top. Also good with any of your favorite crispy raw veggies in your favorite combinations.

What is meant by broccoli?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Broccoli is a plant of the Cabbage family. It closely resembles cauliflower, which is a different cultivar group of the same species, but broccoli is green rather than white.

The word broccoli comes from the Italian broccolo, meaning shoot or stalk.

Brocolli is thought to have originated from the wild cabbage. Wild cabbage originated along the northern and western coasts of the Mediterranean, where it was apparently domesticated thousands of years ago. That domesticated cabbage was eventually bred into widely varying forms, including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, and brussels sprouts.
