Did you know this about broccoli stems?

Broccoli stems are usually just thrown away but are actually the best part. The stems contain most of the fibre and are very sweet adding great flavour along with the florets.

“Don’t waste the stalks”: proceeds to throw away most of the stalks

[ichglaubichstehimwald]

I only remove the woody parts. You don't have to cut that much off. The leaves are good too

[Raziaar]

"utilizes the full vegetable without anything going to waste" as you chop off 90% of the stem

I personally prefer the stalks. Poor man's asparagus !

[chrisheath]

I'm a fan of peeling the stalks, then grating them and stir-frying. Perfect way to make sure they don't go to waste!

[MitchyBoi]

I eat the stems by themselves, even without cutting anything off, it’s so delicious.

Oh my God, I've been cutting broccoli wrong all my life, and to think I'm 41. Thank you for teaching me how to cut my broccoli the correct way.

I always use It and It tastes good raw too!❤

I always include the stalks when I cook brocolli. Because that veggie is expensive here so I include it. Later I found out that part has more fiber ☺️

I have always used the stems I just cut them at an angle so they cook evenly with the florets.

With butter and cooked right they can be as delicious as artichoke hearts.

Dont need to remove the bitter outer layer, wash thoroughly and find a way to make it delicious. The whole thing is good for you.👍🏽👍🏽

Brocolli in itself is delicious af. I never knew about the stems being edible though, thanks for sharing this fact, chef

[loisjohnson]

Been eating since i was a child. I loved my eatable vegetation and fruits. Grew up eating all sorts of things growing where I live. From beeries to stems and roots of plants, flower petals, and clovers plus a garden of carrots, pees, beans and apple trees.

I always peel the stalk with a potato peeler, quarter it and present it to my hubby with a salt shaker and he loves it raw while the broccoli is steaming for a side to our dinner meal.❤

Had NFI! I must try this. Ya see... u learn something new every day!

[mrlmrl]

I always steam stems (no, this is not an attempt to tongue twister:)), but you gave me the inspiration to use them raw: like cutting matchstick and adding them to salads, or using them next to dip-sauces... Thank you!:)

My dad makes sure I never forget this. He comes in while I'm cutting the veg and takes the stalk to snack on every time.
