People think the stem is too tough, but it just needs to be cooked right. The trick is to start cooking the stem pieces first, then when they just start to be cooked, add the florets. Exact timing depends on the cooking method, but if done right all of it will be tender and tasty.

I just eat the shaft raw as a crunchy snack while the pubes are cooking. It's great when dipped in some soy sauce.

If you cut about .5cm off the outside of the stalk it's quite tender inside.

Use your broccoli peeler going down the shaft from the pubes and don't forget to slice off the tip!

I'm a shaft preferer myself, it's sweeter and won't be hiding any bugs.

I'm not sure why in the hell I never thought of this. I usually separate the tops from the stems, but cook everything together. Tops usually end up slightly burnt, shafts slightly undercooked. This may be a game changer for me! Thanks for the type up / suggestion!

When I was a kid I’d just pluck the pubes off the broccoli and eat only those but as I got older I’ve learned to enjoy the whole shaft plus the pubes. Especially when they’ve had some heat and are black.

There ya go! The answer you didn’t want but got anyway.

Confirmed: zarniwoop loves to shove warm black ones in their mouth all the way to the pubes.

Heh.

Roast the pubes and take a peeler to the shaft and slice them into chips. Olive oil salt pepper farlic powder and theow them in the oven to roast too. They are very sweet and underrated.

for some reason i thought broccoli was some kind of metaphor for dong and was very confused what this post and its comments were actually talking about. but no its just broccoli.

Cut it all into cubes, steam everything or fry it. Eat. Leaves, too if you grew it yourself. Just eat it. It'll give you the farts but it's all delicious.

The stalk is mean to be cooked. The stems and florets are best rinsed, raw, and with a side of buttermilk ranch.

I'm ace... I mean, I don't like broccoli. While, I'm actually ace too.

The dog loves the shaft, it's be rude to deny him.
