Shop for Vegetables

We're back we are going to be steaming broccoli today and before I do that I'm going to give you some tips on buying vegetables. The first tip you want to get is get friends with your produce guy cause he is your buddy. He is going to teach you how to pick the right ones. In looking for vegetables you want to look for the greenest possible, a little yellow is okay and then I have a certain test that I like to do it is called the finger test. A little firmest goes a long way. A like the florescences because it is already done the work is all taking away for you. You may have to trim off a little bit of brown on there but that is about it. The reason I chose broccoli today is because broccoli is very good for antioxidants, it has a lot of calcium, and there is just a lot of flavor in it. The next step we will move onto is cleaning you vegetables.
