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

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.

He removed like half of the stalk...it was painful to watch. The outer layer adds a nice crunch!!! My mom always just sautéed everything. I never liked the florets and I always went for any pieces that had the most stalk.

Yup.....peeling the stems I learned from Julia Child---who advised to cook them a bit longer than the crowns. I too used to toss them out, not realizing they were edible. Raw.....they taste similar to kohlrabi, with the same crunchy texture. Both are members of the cruciferous vegetable group.

you dont have to cut so much of the stems off. Even if you used them as compost, it is still a big waste because you cut away way too much of the outer layer. Just a few strokes of the peeler will do.

The stems also contain the most of the beneficial antioxidant compounds in the plant. If you want your body to make more glutathione, which is important for pretty much every detoxifying process that protects you from free radicals on a given day and helps prevent cancer, eat some broccoli stalks.
