Broccoli Spoils Fast? Extend Its Life with These Storage Hacks!

• Broccoli, a nutrient-rich vegetable, spoils quickly, especially in hot weather, due to improper storage.
• Avoid storing broccoli at room temperature; it wilts and changes color within 1-2 days.
• For 5-7 days freshness, store unwashed, uncut broccoli wrapped in paper or cloth in the refrigerator's crisper.
• Cutting or washing broccoli before storage reduces its shelf life and increases bacterial growth risk.
• Blanch and freeze broccoli for 8-12 months of freshness: cut, blanch, cool, dry, and store in an airtight bag.
