Have you ever considered eating your broccoli leaves? I was recently blown away to learn all the many benefits of including them in your diet!

Hopefully, by the end of this video you will be inspired to try them and get a few ideas on how to prepare them in your meals!

February 2024, the brokest month of my entire grown up life. Usually when I'm this broke, I forage for mussels at the nearby beach, but today the tide was too high. It's a day before pay day and I literally have no food at all and I was starving. So I've been snacking on Lilly Pillys and tonight, it dawned on me that I have broccoli growing in my garden. Searched online if the leaves were edible and found this page. I just rolled them in a little oil, seasoned with some salt and pepper, popped them in the microwave for a few seconds and I had the broadest smile on my face afterwards. I love mother nature.

I found out last year that broccoli leaves are edible, but I shared them with our pet rabbit. However this next year our rabbit will have to share, because that omelette looks yummy.

They are! I've never had any until last year. I was always sad to just throw the plant away after harvesting the crown. Now I feel like there is a whole new reason to grow them!

Months ago I shoved the end of the broccoli I cut off that I bought from the store and it's growing huge so many leaves, produced flowers that went seed and has propagated it's own seeds. 🎉

Justin, to tell you the truth, I had never even considered eating the leaves of my broccoli plants. However, now I will try them this year! It's amazing how much produce I've wasted in the past. By the way, it's great to see you doing videos again, I've missed you on KZfaq. Have a great week! ~Margie🤗🥦🥬🥓

Finally 😊 I posted about this on one of your videos. On another note we buy lettuce variety pks that are whole bunches and I have those a cabbage stem leftover from one we got at the store because mine aren’t ready yet and they’re growing great. I moved the cabbage outside today. I did the same thing with the crown of a pineapple and it’s almost time to repot it and move it outside. To do pineapple you cut the crown or green leafy part off the top of the pineapple then remove several layers of leaves from bottom til you see roots. Plant in a container and keep moist not wet until it’s warm enough to set outside. Bring it in every winter or first sign of frost in your area.

Broccoli, kale, cauliflower, cabbage, kohlrabi and brussels sprouts are different cultivars of one species. I stopped growing collards and kale 20 years ago because the leaves from my broccoli, kohlrabi and brussels sprouts could replace them in my diet. Collards and kale seemed like a waste of garden space. Kohlrabi has the sweetest and most tender leaves of all of them. Swiss chard and beets are one species, too. One develops a big edible root and the other doesn't. The greens are exactly the same except for color. If the color matters, grow both. If not, only grow beets and eat the greens.
