Have you ever considered eating your broccoli leaves? I was recently blown away to learn all the many benefits of including them in your diet! I'm really surprised that no one really mentions eating them; instead the focus is always on the floret. Hopefully, by the end of this video you will be inspired to try them and get a few ideas on how to prepare them in your meals!

Hi!
My name is Justin and I have my managed my family's business (S&K Greenhouse) for the last 10 years! It is a local garden center in Shelby, NC that my family started around 25 years ago.

We have a strong desire to discuss and teach gardening to the online community and welcome anyone who wants to learn. Though we have been involved in the plant world for decades we have found that there is always something to learn when it comes to gardening.

Whether you are a master gardener or just starting out this channel is for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos!

February 2024, the brokest month of my entire grown up life. Usually when I'm this broke, I forage for mussels at the nearby beach, but today the tide was too high. It's a day before pay day and I literally have no food at all and I was starving. So I've been snacking on Lilly Pillys and tonight, it dawned on me that I have broccoli growing in my garden. Searched online if the leaves were edible and found this page. I just rolled them in a little oil, seasoned with some salt and pepper, popped them in the microwave for a few seconds and I had the broadest smile on my face afterwards. I love mother nature.

I feel like I’ve wasted my life not knowing this 😅 can’t wait to try broccoli leaves this summer!

Great idea .. love all greens … wish I grew my own Broccoli to give it a try …Omelettes are my favourite “fast food” …thanks for posting.. New subscriber from Scotland 👌🏻

Finally 😊 I posted about this on one of your videos. On another note we buy lettuce variety pks that are whole bunches and I have those a cabbage stem leftover from one we got at the store because mine aren’t ready yet and they’re growing great. I moved the cabbage outside today. I did the same thing with the crown of a pineapple and it’s almost time to repot it and move it outside. To do pineapple you cut the crown or green leafy part off the top of the pineapple then remove several layers of leaves from bottom til you see roots. Plant in a container and keep moist not wet until it’s warm enough to set outside. Bring it in every winter or first sign of frost in your area.

I would eat them if I could grow broccoli. Living in KC and the bugs are horrid…Japanese beetles destroyed my garden last year. 😢 love your channel 😊

[cablegrinch]

Our new favorite channel! Keep making these videos! 👍

[christineroberts]

Lol!!! Can you do a video on deer fencing? My garden has been destroyed this winter!😭

[bendanba]

I would love a garden bed like that! I have the space but not the time! It just seems so much work😂

[Yvonne_ennovY]

That was a cool video! I never thought to eat the broccoli leaves, let alone cook them in the omelette. I knew it was gonna be great when your first ingredient was bacon and bacon grease. 😂🥓🙌🏾

I found out last year that broccoli leaves are edible, but I shared them with our pet rabbit. However this next year our rabbit will have to share, because that omelette looks yummy.

Brussel Sprout Leaves!!! Much tastier than cabbage.

[lightwavz]

I saute them in butter or olive oil until they are just barely crisp. Delicious!

I also have good laying hens and getting a dozen eggs a day!

Great idea ! This is perfect . Is that your backyard garden now ? We need serial videos when you plant and what you do and use your garden as the demo . Love your videos !

[anncoats]

Loved this video, make more like it please. You are so funny

[greenthumbelina]

Justin, to tell you the truth, I had never even considered eating the leaves of my broccoli plants. However, now I will try them this year! It's amazing how much produce I've wasted in the past. By the way, it's great to see you doing videos again, I've missed you on YouTube. Have a great week! ~Margie🤗🥦🥬🥓

I like how the safari hat goes from garden to kitchen like nothing.

[mayers]

Thank you for this! I had no idea the leaves were edible and can't wait to try them from the garden this year!
