How to keep it fresh
Keep broccoli dry in the refrigerator, and wash it only before cooking to help it last longer.
Vegetables
Look for broccoli with tight florets, firm stems, and bright green color. Keep it dry in the refrigerator and wash it just before cooking so it holds up longer and the stems stay fresh. At home, blanching, air-frying, or stir-frying it with chicken breast makes an easy lunch-box main, and it is a common side in lighter meals. Bloom Kitchen also lists several broccoli recipes to help you add fiber and filling volume without much fuss.
