brocolli

yes

why are you going to eat it raw?

fridge I guess, but I suppose not in fridge works too.

you could also put it in a bowl, pinch of water, cover with gladwrap for 2 mins. salt.

i eat all my other vegies raw, i always have! i've read so many good things about eating brocolli raw and what it adds to your diet in terms of minerals etc. thanks guys, i think i'll chuck it in the fridge.

they're so cute! they're like little trees. sorry, ive never eaten them before so its a bit of a novelty.

it's nature's messiest vegetable, gettin' all it's little green specks over everything else. not good for those of us who try to avoid cross-vegetal contamination.

it's time someone invented GM non-messy brocoli

*not good for those of us who try to avoid cross-vegetal contamination. *

and i thought my food things were weird

i like to steam the fuck out of it, then pan fry it with anchovies and penne and little bits of bacon and haricot beans

sns it's great steamed... wait... how could you have never tried brocolli

I like steamed brocolli with pan fired tempeh in roti bread

you can't be serious

the stalks are good too

my brothers girlfriend went peach picking and still never ate a peach

i mean can't be serious with the 'cross-vegetal contamination'.

cj i dont know! i've never eaten a pear either. seriously! ha perhaps i'm wierd. i seem to prefer all my vegies raw n crunchy. cooked carrots never did it for me and it just grew from there.

i like it simmered - not boiled mind you - in chicken stock for at least three hours, then pureed with imitation saffron. i then add potato starch and pour it into an ice tray.

after setting overnight, i have chicken-flavoured imitation pumpkin.

bon appetit

Oh for fuck's sake. None of you know how to spell it?
Broccoli.
Put it in the fridge.
Veggies are better for you raw.
And aren't you so special and precious for never having eaten it before! OMG!!1

ah sorry about the spelling. as for the rest of what you said, go fuck yourself (except for the bit about raw vegies...you're spot on there)

......meh meh meh. OMG, yadda yadda yadda.

i smell a rat.

dont eat that shit raw
stick it in a microwave in a little bowl of water with some non melty gladwrap over the top

ah broccoli, my favourite vegetable. Lightly steamed so it's bright green and crunchy, sprinkled with sesame seeds and lemon juice. Overcooking leaches out nutrients and makes it smell like burnt rubber. As Timey said, the stalks are good too. I just peel or trim the sides and cut off the woody bottom bit and slice the stalks (they're good stir-fried).

I'm with vaquera. I was very confused as to why nobody had, thus far, spelt 'broccoli' correctly.

You all know the difference between broccoli and snot, don't you?

No matter how hard you try, you'll never get your kids to eat broccoli.....

Broccoli blocks sun damage, not stares

Washington
October 24, 2007

RESEARCH suggests that broccoli can prevent the damage from ultraviolet light that often leads to skin cancer. And, as many children would surely appreciate, you do not even have to eat it.

In tests on people and hairless mice, a green smear of broccoli-sprout extract blocked the potentially cancer-causing damage inflicted by sunlight.

The product is still in early stages of development. Among other issues to be worked out is how best to remove the extract's green pigments, which do not contribute to its protective effects and would give users a temporary Martian complexion.

Scientists said the extract works not by screening out the sun's rays — which also blocks vitamin D production — but by turning on the body's natural cancer-fighting machinery.

While the study, published in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, stops short of proving that broccoli extracts can prevent skin cancer, it shows ''direct protection'' against ultraviolet radiation, say researchers.

The research team exposed areas of skin to intense ultraviolet light one to three days after the broccoli sprout extract was applied to some areas. Spots treated with the extract had, on average, 37 per cent less redness and inflammation — key measures of future skin cancer development.

Wow.

double wow.

Does anyone know who planted them on the corner of Smith and Gertrude streets? I that little walkway with the big billboard. I have watching their progress.
