How to cook broccoli: you'll never throw away a stems again

Broccoli is a very healthy and tasty vegetable, but not the cheapest. It is believed that only the top can be used, and the stem should be thrown away.

However, it turns out that cooking broccoli can be made completely waste-free. For example, a blogger with the nickname myrealfood_uk on TikTok told us how to use the stem of this vegetable.

First, dip the top of the florets in boiling water and boil for a few minutes, holding the stem. Remove the cabbage from the water and, continuing to hold it by the stem, easily cut it into individual florets.

Cut the boiled broccoli stalk into small, thin slices and fry in a pan with soy sauce. The result is a delicious side dish. The blogger's subscribers were surprised by this interesting manipulation of cabbage. Some of them didn't even know that the stem was edible. But in fact, it contains much more vitamins and nutrients than the inflorescence itself.
