What it is
These are small, tender pieces of broccoli, carefully cut to ensure quick and even cooking. They are harvested at their peak and flash-frozen to preserve their fresh flavor and texture. The petite size makes them ideal for a variety of dishes where smaller vegetable pieces are desired. They offer a convenient way to add a healthy green vegetable to your meals without the need for washing and chopping.

- Steamed as a quick side
- Added to stir-fries

You can cook these petite broccoli florets in several ways. For a simple side, steam them for a few minutes until tender-crisp. They can also be added directly to simmering soups or stews during the last few minutes of cooking. They are also excellent when roasted in the oven with a little oil and seasoning, bringing out a slightly sweeter flavor.
