Consume fresh broccoli as soon as you can as it will not keep for long. To store, drizzle water droplets on the flower heads, cover loosely in damp paper towels and refrigerate. But never wash broccoli before storing in the refrigerator. The excess moisture promotes mold. Do not store broccoli in a sealed container or plastic bag. Raw broccoli requires air circulation. Broccoli serve as a healthy raw vegetable. Add them to your salads, pasta, curries and rice. Steam broccoli stalks add some salt and oil and roast it for a crunchy flavor.

How to incorporate more broccoli into your diet

Broccoli is famously one of the least favorite vegetables of many, along with its cruciferous cousin, Brussels sprouts. But what if you have just been storing and preparing it wrong?

Fresh, young broccoli should not taste fibrous, woody, or sulfurous. To make sure you get the best tasting broccoli, store the unwashed vegetable in loose or perforated plastic bags in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. Only wash broccoli right before eating, as wet broccoli can develop mold and become limp.

 
Broccoli left at room temperature becomes fibrous and woody. You may not be able to tell by looking, but the flavor of broccoli continues to diminish the older it gets.
