What matters most for broccoli

Keep broccoli cold and dry enough to avoid trapped moisture that speeds spoilage.
Use fresh broccoli fairly quickly for the best texture.
Blanch broccoli before freezing if you want better color and texture later.

FAQ

Common broccoli storage questions

Can broccoli be frozen raw?

It can, but blanching first usually gives better quality once thawed or cooked from frozen.

Why does broccoli spoil quickly in the fridge?

Moisture and age matter a lot. Broccoli keeps better when it stays cold and not overly wet.
