Chop and Stop!

Chop and Stop!

July 31, 2024

Give it time...

Very simply put, when it comes to broccoli, you want to "Chop and Stop". That is the new suggestion for broccoli prep from food science pro's. Before you cook broccoli, and after you wash and chop your broccoli, let it rest for 90 mins. This done in order to get the most of all the healthy sulforaphane compounds that you can.

Also ... Do not cook it at too high a heat, for sure do not microwave it and do eat some raw for a truly healthy bite.

PS- Also be sure to eat the stem if you do not already.

Here are a couple links to helpful articles.
