Don’t throw out the broccoli leaves! Those greens can be blanched along with the florets and peeled stems. They’re chock full of nutrients, just like beet greens. While it’s rare to find broccoli with big leaves still attached outside of a farmers’ market or farm stand, even small leaves are worth tossing into a salad rather than throwing away.
