What it is
This is a package of pre-cut broccoli florets. The broccoli has been washed and trimmed, making it ready for immediate use in cooking. It is a convenient way to incorporate this cruciferous vegetable into meals without the need for extensive preparation. The florets are typically bite-sized and uniform in shape.
How people cook with it
Cut broccoli is a versatile ingredient that can be added to a wide variety of dishes, from simple side dishes to more complex meals.
- Steamed as a side
- Added to stir-fries

To cook, you can steam the broccoli florets for a tender result, often for about 5 to 7 minutes. They can also be roasted in the oven with a little oil and seasoning until tender and slightly browned. For quick meals, add them directly to simmering sauces, soups, or stir-fry mixtures where they will cook through in just a few minutes. They can also be blanched briefly before being added to salads or other cold dishes.
