Use your whole broccoli please!

Normally we eat the "flowers" on the broccoli and throw away the end of it. You english speaking people: would you call it the broccoli stem? But, there's so much vitamins in that as well so try to find a way to use it.
Even though so much vitamines goes away as you boil vegetables, it's still not so tasty to eat the end of the broccoli raw so I would personally boil it. One of my favourites is to boil it and make like mashed potatoes, but of broccoli, or cauliflower. Mix it in a blender. Now when im on my high fat low carb diet, I used cream, broccoli stem (?) and salt. It was soo good! Sure, cream taste good but broccoli also taste good! Try it!

And even if you don't like to eat vegetables, this is a perfect way to start eating them, hide them in your food. And then take steps to eat more and more, in different ways. I didn't eat any vegetables before except from tomatoes, cucumber and corn and I really disliked the rest of the vegetables, but now I looove vegetables (except from bell peppers). So it's not impossible to learn to like something!

Good night!

  2. Jag gillar också att äta hela broccolin, gärna rå men i ganska små bitar i t.ex. pastasallad, men annars brukar jag ofta ha bitar av hela broccolin i såser jag gör, ex. med tonfisk eller kyckling. Mumma!
