How do you wash broccoli?

[Stillmonday]

Broccoli is my families favourite vegetable but I'm finding more and more bugs in it recently. It's really off putting.

How do you make sure you wash it good enough? Also would it hurt if a bug snook in?!?

Wash broccoli? I don't think there's one vegetable I wash 🤔

Probably not the answer you're after!

Cut it into florets, put in colander and rinse under the tap

Do you boil it? Nowt dangerous survives being boiled.

I'm an unwasher too.

I don't wash it either (not helpful I know!)....

Oh I never thought of washing it, as I always cook it. I think it's fine to eat cooked insects... I wash vegetables if they look muddy, but my broccoli never does.

Snook in?

If you steam or boil it, that will kill any bugs sneaking around looking for a forever home.

I chop into florets and rinse in a bowl with water. I also add salt if it’s organic as you gets lots more slugs/bugs which isn’t very appetising

I cut into florets and run under the tap.
Just look at it as extra protein if you eat them?

Just a run under the cold tap as florets. I was a non washer until I found 2 rather large larvae during the summer

I have not found bugs in broccoli - is it my eyesight?

I never wash broccoli. Bugs? Omg. That's put me right off.

If you're worried about bugs let it sit in salt water for a few minutes then rinse.

Upside down. I find grit more of a problem than bugs, tbh. That stuff never bloody washes out.

Hmm bugs at this time of the year 🤔 I never bother usually as bug seasons over post summer but I suppose it has been unusually mild. Ah well it's steamed or boiled (and well salted in this house!) and no creepers have survived.

If it has bugs in it I throw it away.

Cut in to pieces and soak in water (several times)

I don’t.

I've never washed broccoli.

I wash it in a pan of boiling water

I was just thinking the same...wonder what I've been eating

I soak in water with a bit of salt then rinse.

I cooked a lovely head of broccoli once and found a huge green caterpillar when I drained it 😩

I don't wash broccoli, or any veg for that matter. I don't wash fruit either

I don't, I am another non-washer.
