When I shop for broccoli I try to find 'trees' with thinner trunks, in fact I've been known to snap of the stalk before bagging the rest. Earlier I weighed the stalks from todays meal and the three weighed 18 oz !!
Why can't they be removed before sale ?
To answer my own question because it would increase the price per lb but I don't want to pay for something that goes straight on the compost heap angry

Only yesterday I peeled and chopped some big stalks and added them to a vegetable soup. Did the same with a cauliflower stalk.

That is appalling OP! If I understand you correctly.
Who do you think is paying for the stalks you have broken off and abandoned before weighing and paying?

It’s downright dishonest.

No matter!
The stalks must be ten years old by now.
Compost.

We always eat the lot , usually steamed. I never even thought of throwing the stalks away. Bizarre idea.
