[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't typically like to buy the pre-cut broccoli florets because I find that they get that bruised [b]cruciferous vegetable farty smell.[/b]  I prefer to pay the bit extra and buy whole broccoli stalks or crowns from the grocery story for this reason.  Now for the sweetness -- I have had broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables taste sweet (kale, collards, brussels, cabbage...) - the growing conditions can make the flavor skew sweet or bitter.  Sweet often results from a cold snap prior to harvest.  Bitter results from too little water or too much heat.[/quote]

OP here, wow, this is interesting! I will look this up![/quote]

OP again, YES! But only sometimes. I end up airing out the bag.

I use instacart and I have had some horror shows with asking them to pick out actual whole vegetables. One time I ordered napa cabbage, and what I got looked like a sea creature..yellow, limp, spotted.

Im guessing they didnt look at the picture and also clearly had no idea what NAPA cabbage is supposed to look like. :lol: [/quote]
