Broccoli: Selecting Tips |
| |
Look for Broccoli stalks four to six inches wide, with tight heads and a rounded dome.
Tops should be deep green with tightly closed buds and stalks that
are crisp and fresh looking. Avoid any heads that are limp and "rubbery," as that could mean the Broccoli is old or has not been maintained
at proper temperature. During the winter months, you may see a purple hue on the heads. Don't worry, this slight coloring is caused by cold-weather
growing temperatures and has no impact on freshness or flavor.
