Warm Springs OSU Extension May 2023 News

Broccoli and Food Preservation ahead of County Fairs is the focus on this month’s Warm Springs OSU Extension food education efforts.

There are a variety of this vegetable – Broccoli (which is the most common), Chinese Broccoli, Broccolini and Broccoflower.

It’s best to refrigerate broccoli in a loose bag with airflow.  For best quality, use within a week.
