Broccoli can be eaten when it turns yellow, but it will lose some beneficial ingredients. It is recommended to finish the broccoli you bought as soon as possible. If you don't eat it in time, you can blanch it and drain it, then put it in a fresh-keeping bag and seal it in the refrigerator. This method can be preserved for about 4 days. Or wrap it in a sealed bag, spray a layer of water to keep it moist, and store it in the refrigerator. This method can be kept for about a week.
Shopping tips of broccoli
1, when choosing broccoli, you should first look at the color of broccoli. Fresh and high-quality broccoli is dark green with bright color. If the color of broccoli is yellow, you can even see some yellow flowers, which means that broccoli is too ripe and not too fresh.
2. Look at the flower balls and buds of broccoli. Fresh and high-quality broccoli looks very integrated and will not give people a loose feeling. The surface of the flower ball is not concave and convex, but it has a sense of uplift, and the bud is precise and firm. This kind of broccoli is more worth buying.
3. Choose broccoli that feels heavy. The weight of broccoli can also reflect whether it is fresh or not to some extent. Broccoli, which feels heavy, shows that it contains a lot of water and has not lost water because of long-term storage. However, when choosing broccoli with heavy hand feel, we should avoid choosing broccoli with large pedicels and excellent flower heads. This kind of broccoli is old and doesn't taste very good.
