Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable that can be eaten raw or cooked. It is a good source of vitamin C and fiber. To clean broccoli, cut off the stem and discard it. Cut the broccoli into small florets and place them in a large bowl. Pour boiling water over the broccoli and let it sit for 3 minutes. Drain the water and rinse the broccoli with cold water to cool it down. Place the broccoli in a salad spinner or dryer sheet to remove any excess moisture. ..
