How to Freeze Broccoli // Lock in flavor, color and nutrition when storing broccoli (or cauliflower)

[@karendavis9151]

We actually trim, peel & slice the broccoli stems & eat them along with the florets--also the smaller leaves--delicious!

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

We do too. All so good so why waste it

Thank you for taking the time to make the video. I’m in beautiful Palm Beach Florida. Zone 10. We still have broccoli growing. Just harvest last night. Will definitely do this. Thanks again God bless you

Hi from a Swede living in Israel. I'm starting small scale gardening on my balcony. Watched a few videos and I really like your channel :)

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

Hejsan! I learned to grow veggies from my mom’s balcony garden 😀 have fun!!!

[@lwjenson]

I tried the two broccoli soups you have in your website and they were great! We used up the last of our over wintered broccoli and used the leaves and stems for the soups!

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

Great to hear and yes leaves and stems are great for this soup

They last about 6 month in the freezer

i like the idea of saving broccoli for later. i didn't know you could do that by freezing it that way. i'll have to give that a shot, as soon as my broccoli harvest comes. ;)

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

It works great and it is so handy to have frozen broccoli available

[@squange20]

The frozen veggies you get in the supermarket are prepared in exactly this way. So very useful if you grow your own veggies and freeze some for winter.

Hello, what happens if you just wash them off and freeze them and not blanch them? Thank you!

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

Hello, they will not keep their shape and get soggy and loose color

[@delawurl5938]

Did you wash first?

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

Yes

Your boiled (not steamed) broccoli looks overcooked. Can't see how it won't be soggy when defrosted.

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

Thank you, it’s been good and crispy
