• Choose bunches with deep strong
color (emerald green to green with
purple) and tight florets.
• If steaming for salads, steam until
broccoli just turns bright green;
refresh immediately in iced water and
drain before using.
• Smaller sprouts are more tender;
look for small, bright green compact
heads.
• Slice off bottom, peel off outer leaves,
then cut an “x” in the bottom of each
sprout.
• Peel and slice or julienne carrots.
