Notes
The Best Knives to UseWe are not partial to any brand of knives, but you will want a sharp knife anytime you are cutting fresh vegetables. I like to use a larger chef's knife, but sometimes I use a smaller pairing knife.What to do with Broccoli StemsThe broccoli stems are also edible. You can dice them and use them in recipes or eat them raw. They're great dipped in ranch dressing!
