Keto Net Carbs

Selecting Broccoli

Select broccoli that is green and firm with tightly closed buds. Broccoli that has yellow buds or is rubbery is getting too old.

How to Store Broccoli

Store unwashed broccoli heads in damp paper towels in the crisper drawer of the fridge.

How to Freeze Broccoli

Wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Bring a pot of water to a simmer (do NOT boil). Simmer the broccoli florets for about 4 minutes. Remove from the hot water with a slotted spoon and add to a bowl or sink full of cold water with ice. Let cool off for 3 or 4 minutes then lay them in a single layer on a parchment- or silicone-lined baking sheet. Pop in the freezer until frozen then transfer to a freezer safe zippy bag or other container.
