About Broccoli stems

Broccoli stems, often overlooked in favor of their florets, are packed with nutrients and culinary potential. Originating from the Mediterranean and widely embraced in global cuisines, they're a versatile ingredient found in stir-fries, soups, and salads. Rich in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, broccoli stems support heart health, digestion, and immune function. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor makes them a perfect addition to a variety of dishes. While low in calories and fat, they offer vital antioxidants, which help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. To enjoy their full nutritional benefits, peel the tougher outer layer and slice the tender core. Broccoli stems are both economical and environmentally friendly, making them a great choice for reducing food waste while nourishing your body.
