Broccoli grows like a tree with a thick, edible trunk that sprouts leaves, or branches and clusters of small, tight flower heads that turn bright green when cooked. Once fully mature or bolting, the flower buds will sprout golden yellow edible flowers.
Broccoli can be eaten raw or cooked and is mild enough to be paired with numerous flavors and textures. be incorporated into salads, added to a veggie platter, or enjoyed dipped in various dipping sauces and dressings. Saute carrots, onions, and celery in a pot, add chopped broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and vegetable stock then cook until softened and puree into soup.
