Handling & Storage

Look for broccoli that is firm with closed florets, odorless, and has a deep green color. Refrigerate broccoli, and use within 3-5 days.

To freeze, cut washed broccoli into florets and stalks into pieces. Steam about 5 minutes. Plunge into ice water to stop cooking and drain thoroughly. Place into sealed bags or containers and freeze for up to 12 months.
