great post @ewasteguy1 , I do like broccoli but I try not to cook to the point it goes soggy !
if im just eating it i try not to aswell, but if im making soup i dont mind cause any nutrients that leech out into the water still end up in what i eat
that makes sense !
yea usually when i make asperagus i boil a pound of it and 3 heads of broccoli then pull some brocolli and asperagus out for supper on its own then make a soupe with the juice from boiling it and what i leave in the pot. usually eat half and put half to a soup
so no waste ; ) hope the snow goes away for you x
