After cleaning it with running water, I just steam it and dip it in cheese. Yummy!

Hello, I used to buy broccoli unwrapped and prepared it by washing it in running water. Then I would steam it. Few months ago, I read that buying vegetables frozen in the packet keeps in the vitamins. Now I buy it frozen in the packet and I must admit that it tastes much nicer. Try it and see!!!

That is a good start up dish for a beginner, Very good... Sorry, I just don't know how to prepare one, but you can just simply look for recipes in the internet... And the broccoli's flower is called a cauliflower...

Correction please, cauliflower is an entirely different kind of vegetable, the flowers of broccoli is called florets although cauliflower is also called florets

I lightly steam it and sometimes serve with tomato ketchup all the best urban

My mother just cleans them in a bowl of hot water. Just dip it there for like 5 minutes. Then that's it. The brocolli will come out half-cooked and still crunchy.

Hi. fgb_fritz. I think that it is fine if you saute the broccoli with fat free butter. Just use butter that is low in fat and that has no cholesterol in it.

Broccoli is quite versatile and can be used many ways. You can boil it and then put a cheese sauce on it, or even steam it and then add a cheese sauce if you prefer. You can make broccoli cheese soup or cream of broccoli soup. It even makes a good addition to some casseroles and is also wonderful raw in a salad. Hope these ideas help.
