It is very easily sourced from Fruit stores, markets and supermarkets, and can be bought fresh or snap frozen.

Steamed or cooked into Tangines broccoli sprouts are very flavoursome and can be great in salads once cooled down. Broccoli can also be preserved and pickled for longer storage and delicious crunchy side or to put into rice paper rolls.

The Stem is also great for cooking, you paid for it, you should use it, cut into small pieces try dumplings and slices as chips or stir-fry’s.

Raw the stem is getting a new lease of life by being used in green smoothies but its best to do a little reading first to get the tastes right as the blending of broccoli releases many nutrient and also its bitterness.
