• It can be steamed, grilled, fried. It is perfect with lemon, butter, chilis, garlic and tomatoes.

• Consume fresh broccoli as soon as you can as it will not keep long. To store, mist the unwashed heads, wrap loosely in damp paper towels, and refrigerate. Use within 2 to 3 days. Do not store broccoli in a sealed container or plastic bag.
