Thank you for ruining broccoli
Cut it all into cubes, steam everything or fry it. Eat. Leaves, too if you grew it yourself. Just eat it. It’ll give you the farts but it’s all delicious.
When I was a kid I’d just pluck the pubes off the broccoli and eat only those but as I got older I’ve learned to enjoy the whole shaft plus the pubes. Especially when they’ve had some heat and are black.
There ya go! The answer you didn’t want but got anyway.
Confirmed: zarniwoop loves to shove warm black ones in their mouth all the way to the pubes.
Heh.
The stalk is mean to be cooked. The stems and florets are best rinsed, raw, and with a side of buttermilk ranch.
Now I don’t like any of it.
Well most are pro pubes. The shaft has unrealised potential
People think the stem is too tough, but it just needs to be cooked right. The trick is to start cooking the stem pieces first, then when they just start to be cooked, add the florets. Exact timing depends on the cooking method, but if done right all of it will be tender and tasty.
I just eat the shaft raw as a crunchy snack while the pubes are cooking. It’s great when dipped in some soy sauce.
Thos’re called florets. And they’re delicious!
Was shaft the correct term?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
