After broccoli turns yellow, you should decide whether to eat it according to the degree of yellowing. Slight yellowing does not affect the edibility of broccoli, just boil it in water. Broccoli with dark yellow color and weak plants can be thrown away directly. This kind of broccoli is inedible. When you buy broccoli home, you should finish it in 4 days.

Broccoli turns yellow because it can't turn green without light and chlorophyll, so it is yellow. Also because it is not fresh, the rape just bought is bright in color, and it will turn yellow in a few days, which means it will get old. If there is no deterioration, it will not affect eating if it turns yellow slightly.
