RE: broccoli stems (was More Expensive)

But broccoli stems are not unusable! You can peel off the tough outer

layer, then julienne or slice in rounds or dice (just like carrots!) to

add to salads, sauté with other veggies, add to soups, etc. You can also

grate into meatloaf, spaghetti sauce, etc. You get the picture! Lora

Brody has a tiny little cookbook out called " Broccoli by Brody " and ALL

the recipes are scrumptious, and a lot of them use stems, which are only

slightly less nutritious than the crowns.
