How should broccoli be stored?

Place broccoli in a sealed container, removing as much of the air from the container as possible. Store in the refrigerator where it will keep for 10 days. Do not wash broccoli before storing, because exposure to water encourages spoilage. Partial heads of broccoli should be placed in a well-sealed container and refrigerated. Because the vitamin C content starts to quickly degrade once broccoli has been cut, it is best to use it within a couple of days. Broccoli that has been blanched and then frozen can keep for up to a year. Leftover cooked broccoli should be placed in tightly covered container and stored in the refrigerator where it will keep for a few days.

How long to boil broccoli?

Broccoli is one of those vegetables that is overcooked way too often. It dulls the flavor and destroys a lot of the nutrients.

  • The best way to cook it is to cut up florets and drop them into boiling water for about a minute. It's just beyond blanching them, so it removed the hard crunch, but still leaves it firm and brightly colored enough to be worth eating.
  • You can also microwave it for about 2.5 minutes for a head. Put it in a closed (vented) microwaveable dish with about half a cup of water so it steams lightly.
  • Personally, I like to toss in a little olive oil, salt and pepper (and maybe some onion/garlic powder) and roast it in the oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for a few minutes -- just till it begins to brown a drop. Turn the oven off and let it sit another 5 minutes to soften.

if you like it mushy then that can take up to like an hour

Can broccoli kill dogs?
