Broccoli Stays Fresh: My Top Storage Hacks

If you want your broccoli to last, try the bouquet method. Stand the stem in a bowl with a little water (just like flowers) and pop it in the fridge. Loosely cover the top with a plastic bag that has holes for airflow. Change the water daily. This keeps it crisp for up to a week. For a quicker option, wrap the heads in a damp paper towel and keep them in the fridge. Just don’t seal them tight—broccoli needs to breathe. This works for about three days. If you’re in a rush, poke holes in a plastic bag and store your broccoli inside. It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done for a few days. Skip washing store-bought broccoli until you’re ready to use it—extra moisture speeds up spoilage. Homegrown? Wash, dry thoroughly, and store as above. Getting it in the fridge ASAP is key to keeping it crunchy! #BroccoliTips #KitchenHacks #FoodStorage #Food #Cooking
