Waste Not, Want Not - Broccoli Stems
When you buy fresh broccoli don't toss the tough stems. They are still loaded in vitamin C and K as well as other nutrients.
I just do a haphazard job of cutting off the fibrous layer and then run the stalks through my food processor's grater and make broccoli slaw. Great in well, um, slaw, and tacos, and wraps. Tonight I threw it in this awesome Asian Slaw with Ginger Peanut Dressing. You could also try it in Raw "Pad Thai" which was delicious.
Another option is chop it into small cubes and freeze them to be thrown into a soup later. I haven't done this yet but will someday.
