Ocado Broccoli Florets

Ocado Broccoli Florets

These crisp and fresh broccoli florets are typically a vibrant dark green, sometimes with hints of purple or blue, especially on the very tips of the buds, and a lighter green to whitish stem. Naturally high in folic acid and fibre, an 80g portion is 1 of your 5 a day.

The taste can vary slightly depending on whether they are raw or cooked.

Raw: They have a crisp, slightly bitter, and subtly peppery flavour with a fresh, almost grassy undertone.

Steamed/Boiled: The bitterness mellows significantly, and they become sweeter and more tender. They retain a mild, earthy green flavour.

Roasted/Sautéed: Roasting or sautéing brings out a deeper, more caramelised sweetness and a nutty flavour, particularly if they get slightly browned or charred. The texture can become tender-crisp.

Broccoli florets are incredibly versatile and can be used in a vast array of dishes. Raw broccoli florets add crunch and a peppery bite to hearty salads, often paired with nuts, dried fruit, and creamy dressings or serve up on a veggie platter with a array of dips.

Steamed, boiled, roasted, or sautéed, they make an excellent accompaniment to almost any main meal – roasted meats, grilled fish, or casseroles. Their firm texture stands up well to high-heat cooking in stir-fries, absorbing flavours beautifully while adding a vibrant green colour and crunch to Asian-inspired dishes.

Toss into pasta with garlic, olive oil, and chilli flakes, or incorporate into creamy pasta sauces. They're delicious when roasted alongside other vegetables like carrots, potatoes, parsnips and protein like chicken and sausages as part of a one-pan meal.
