Cooking Tips
Baby broccoli cooks much faster than regular broccoli. Roasting, steaming, or sautéing are great methods.
You can eat the entire stalk and floret. If the stalks seem a bit thick, you can peel the tough outer layer.
Don't overcook it! Aim for tender-crisp to maintain its vibrant color and texture.
