Don't Ditch Broccoli Stems
One of the most popular veggies in the US is also one of the most mistreated. Watch Wen-Jay talk broccoli stems here.
Everyone uses the broccoli florets but you can actually use the stems too. They're full of vitamins and minerals so you'll be getting double the nutrients in your diet from just one veggie.
Here are some delicious ways to use broccoli stems:
1. Peel and chop them up for a sauté or stir fry.
2. Blend with oil to make a pesto sauce.
3. Roast in the oven with your other favorite seasonal veggies.
4. Puree into a broccoli soup.
Stop wasting perfectly good veggies and use the entire broccoli head next time.
