would you eat brocolli that is starting to go a bit yellow?

[dingdong05]

I harvested a load cause I could tell they were not far from flowering altogether, but after 2 days a lot of the flower buds are going yellow. I'm going to make a vast batch of soup so they don't need to be super tender or goodlooking.
There's tonnes of it and I don't want to waste it!
I'm even willing to pick all the (now dead) caterpillars off it (boak)

[TheArmadillo]

yep and do.

[MamaG]

I'd cook it for DH

[haventsleptforayear]

Yes.

God I hate that caterpillar picking.

I would be tempted to BUY frozen broccoli now but we have a freezer full of it.

DH doesn't pick them out properly and I feel sick eating it knowing that they are there.

[haventsleptforayear]

OP look here!

[weegiemum]

Yes!

Our kids call it "Autumn Broccoli"

Dh once cooked some broccoli that had gone very yellow - and put green food colouring on it to make it green again. It was not terribly appetising! I'd have thought it would be fine in soup, though.

[dingdong05]

Oh! Is that thread about me? Ah well, they that mind can boil their heids, and their broccccccoooolllliiiiieeeeeaaaah

haventsleptforayear I just couldn't [boak] The last batch I steamed and despite the fact that I had combed through it I discovered 1 en route to my mouth [boak] And even though I was trying to convince ds how yummy it was I couldn't put it near my mouth...you are much tougher than me!

lol at adding green dye though

Thanks everyone!

[haventsleptforayear]

No no I can't eat them with the caterpillars either!

I spent 30 mins picking them out yesterday before cooking them, and then some MORE fell out once they'd been boiled.

I still felt a bit sicky even though I had literally been over them with a fine-tooth comb, splitting every floret (sp?) apart and scraping all suspicious looking items off...
