About Broccoli stem
Broccoli stems are the often-overlooked yet highly nutritious counterparts to broccoli florets. Originating from the Mediterranean region, broccoli is a staple in many cuisines, including Italian, Chinese, and Indian, where both stems and florets feature in soups, stir-fries, and salads. The stems have a mildly sweet and earthy flavor with a crunchy texture, making them versatile for raw or cooked dishes. Packed with fiber, broccoli stems support digestive health and provide a steady energy release. They also contain vitamins C and K, boosting immunity and promoting bone health, along with antioxidants that help combat inflammation. With minimal calories and virtually no fats, they are an excellent addition to weight-conscious diets. However, overeating broccoli in general may cause bloating for some due to its natural sulfur compounds. Be sure to peel tougher outer layers for optimal tenderness. Don’t discard—use stems to maximize both nutrition and sustainability!
