I heard that it was the most nutritious part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614456 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:51:10 +0000 MamaJ 1614456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I hate the stem. It's DH's favorite part so he eats my stems </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614413 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:35:14 +0000 spaniellove 1614413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: You nailed it when you said it tastes like asparagus. It really is good cooked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614395 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:29:40 +0000 Greentea 1614395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do! ? I would feel like I was wasting if I didn't. Never thought of not using it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614387 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:26:41 +0000 Smurfette 1614387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614383 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:24:59 +0000 gingerbebe 1614383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I peel off the skin with a potato peeler to get the woody part off, but its very good - almost like asparagus when cooked and very good raw with hummus or dip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614381 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:23:42 +0000 matador84 1614381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. DH thinks it's weird I eat the asparagus stalk and not just the tip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614378 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:23:30 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1614378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mean the little stems. I mean the fat stalk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614371 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:22:03 +0000 T-Mom 1614371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it. My favorite part if it's peeled and cooked right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614336 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:03:08 +0000 honeybear 1614336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. If I feel like chopping matchsticks, I will occasionally make kinpira out of it. I will also occasionally chop it up into smaller bits and steam them with the florets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614332 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:02:09 +0000 sandy 1614332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not the whole stem but a good amount of it. I love the stem part more than the crown/floret part so when I cut my broccoli I make them super big/long with lots of stem part. When I make broccoli salad I use a lot of the stem part too. Or I love shredded broccoli slaw which is the stem part </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614322 Mon, 05 May 2014 17:59:42 +0000 spaniellove 1614322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not the whole thing but yes, it's good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-the-broccoli-stem#post-1614310 Mon, 05 May 2014 17:51:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1614310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always threw it away but then I saw a friend use the thick stem in a quiche!</p> <p>Do you eat it? </p>
