broccoli

When kids help make healthy food, they are more likely to try it. Show kids how to:

❁ wash produce under cool running water.

❁ measure ingredients and stir them together.

❁ peel or cut vegetables.

■ Store broccoli in the refrigerator in open or perforated plastic bags (make 20 holes in a medium bag). For best quality use within a week.

■ Wash just before using.

Green broccoli (Calabrese) – most common type of broccoli. Light green stalks with dark green heads of closed flower buds. Stems, leaves and head are edible.
