Is it safe to eat broccoli when it has gone yellow (before you have cooked it)?

Answer 1

is broccoli so expensive that you would ever have to face this conundrum?

Answer 2

As long as it doesn't smell horrible and is not too yellow it should be OK.

Broccoli doesn't usually last that long in my house, but I did have some once that went past it's best and I disguised the fact by making a broccoli (cauliflower) cheese, which was lovely. Use a strong cheese though!

Answer 3

Yes it is safe, but might not be very tasty. The yellow that appears in green veg after a while is just one of the chemicals within the veg taking over as it becomes less fresh and alters the look of it. I wouldn't eat it personally but I don't think it woudl harm you.

Answer 4

Broccoli turns yellow when 'old'. You can eat it if it doesn't have mold on it but it won't taste as good as green broccoli
