We eat the stalks - especially of tenderstem! I love the stalks.

You can thinly slice stalks and add to rest.
( Have also been guilty of snapping stalks, but it's a tough job! )

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
