What are these horrible brown beetles on my purple sprouting broccoli!

Tiny grey brown beetles. Washing the broccoli doesnt get rid of them - in fact they are invisible when you pick the stuff. They appear after cooking :-( so are probablyo hiding deep inside the heads. So gutted as I have a bumper crop this year!

Try leaving them to soak in cold salted water before cooking. It's what we used to do when I was young and veg came from greengrocer shops!
