I've been on a broccoli kick of late. I might as well learn the correct way to cut it.
So how far down the stalk is edible? Is there a simple way to tell like asparagus? I've read to cut the stalk off very close to the florets to get the florets to fall away, but that seems like a lot of waste. I use some of the stalk, but could probably use more if I knew how much was good to steam with the florets. I hate throwing those big chunks of stalk away, but there seems to be a lot even when buying the crown.
Thanks
