Broccoli florets are the small, tree-like tops trimmed from a whole head of broccoli. They’re the tender pieces most recipes use, cut into bite-size portions for quick cooking.

• Sold fresh (refrigerated) and frozen, including convenient steam-in-bag packs.
• Easy to add to stir-fries, salads, grain bowls, and weeknight sides.
• Often pre-washed and trimmed to reduce prep time.
• Some bags include stems when labeled as “cuts”; the product page usually notes the cut style.

For the best experience, check each package for storage and cooking directions, and review the size and cut details on the product page before you add it to your cart.

“Broccoli” usually means the whole vegetable (crown, florets, and stalk), while “florets” are just the trimmed tops.

• Prep: Whole heads need washing and cutting. Florets are ready to cook.
• Texture: Florets are tender; stalks are firmer and take longer to soften.
• Cooking time: Florets typically cook faster than larger pieces or thick stems.
• Formats: Florets come fresh (refrigerated) or frozen, including steam-in-bag options for quick meals.

Choose based on how much prep you want and how you plan to cook. Review the cut style (florets vs. cuts) and follow the storage guidance on the label for best results.

Frozen florets are versatile and easy to prepare. Consider these approaches:

1. Microwave (steam-in-bag): Heat the bag as directed on the label, allowing steam to vent. This is a fast option for tender florets.
2. Stovetop: Add florets to a pan with a splash of water, cover, and heat until hot and crisp-tender. Drain, then season to taste.
3. Oven: Toss frozen florets with a little oil and seasoning, spread in a single layer on a preheated pan, and roast until heated through.

Exact times can vary by cut and appliance, so use the package instructions as your guide and cook to your preferred tenderness.

Florets make meal prep simpler because they’re already trimmed and cook quickly.

• Batch-cook lightly: Steam or sauté until crisp-tender, then cool before adding to bowls, salads, and quick weeknight dishes.
• Keep finishes simple: Try olive oil, lemon, garlic, or herbs. Sauces can be packed separately to keep texture.
• Mix and match: Add florets to pasta, rice, or protein-based dishes for color and crunch.
• Store smart: Use airtight containers and follow the label’s storage guidance for fresh or frozen items.

You can order online and choose pickup or delivery to stock up on fresh or frozen florets for the week.
