stems?

[goth_kittykat]

i bought brocolli at whole foods and i'm wondering can you eat the stems? if so how do you fix them because their extremly bland, even when i dip it in hummus.

Peel them, chop them up, and add them to the rest of the broccoli.

peeling the stems? how do you do that?o.o i didn't know you needed to peel the parts that didn't have the flowerettes.

I use a vegetable peeler to scrape off the tough parts, then thin slice them and eat them like chips.

You don't often have to, unless it's chewy/hard on the outside.

You can definitely eat them, raw, boiled, steamed, etc. Anything you can do to a food, you can do to a brocoli :)

I don't have a strict diet, but I prefer to lean towards vegetarian since I'm not a big fan of red meats and I can't have lactose things :P
