Cooking Skills：Edible parts are flower buds, pedicels and tender stems. Rinse lightly with water first, soak the broccoli upside down in salt water for about an hour so the bugs will emerge; then rinse under running water. The flower parts tend to accumulate the most pesticides, so the flower parts of broccoli should be carefully cleaned. When cooking, it is advisable to drain the water (flying water) first, so that it is easier to soften, so that it will not turn yellow due to cooking for too long; when the color changes, it is immediately cooled to keep its turquoise color.
Notes：Broccoli, especially its disulfhydryl, indole, isothiocyanate and other ingredients, has a very high anti-cancer potential, especially bladder cancer.
