Step 1: Cut and clean.
Prepare a vegetable basket with waterproof layer, cut it one by one according to the organizational structure of broccoli (how to cut broccoli), put it into the basket, and rinse it with running water for 2-3 times to remove surface impurities.
Step 2: Remove pesticides and insects.
Insecticides and insects can be removed in the following ways:
1, salt water immersion
Salt water can reduce bacteria on the surface of vegetables, effectively eliminate pesticide residues on the surface of vegetables, and also bubble out bugs. But also can keep the fresh flavor of broccoli, and is not afraid of nutrient loss.
Put a basin of clear water into the chopped broccoli, the water level is higher than the broccoli. Add 2 or 3 spoonfuls of salt to soak 15-20 minutes to soak the worms lurking in the bud, and then take out the broccoli.

2, fruit and vegetable cleaning solution
Soak broccoli in fruit and vegetable cleaning solution. The soaking time should not be too long, usually 5 minutes is enough, and then rinse with water at least twice. Because the fruit washed with special fruit and vegetable cleaning solution often has some lotion residues, which is not good for the health, so washing it twice more can make us feel more at ease when eating fruit.
3. Taomi water
Try washing rice with water for a few minutes to remove pesticide residues on the surface. Because rice washing water is alkaline, it can reduce harmful substances in vegetables, but for the choice of rice washing water, the alkalinity of freshly washed rice water is not obvious, and the effect of washing vegetables after fermentation will be better.
Rinse again
Rinse it with water twice again, and the broccoli will be much cleaner.
Step 4: Drain the water.
Finally, put the washed broccoli in boiling water for two or three minutes to completely wash off the residue. Blanched broccoli is not only clean, but also beautiful in color. But be careful not to blanch for too long to avoid nutrient loss.
