Broccoli and cauliflower are vitamin-rich vegetables that can be used in many recipes.

But chances are you're making a mistake while preparing it.

In casseroles, soups or as a vegetable side dish: types of cabbage such as

cauliflower and broccoli

are popular in the kitchen and quickly made.

However, if you use only the florets of the vegetable, the

stalk

cut off and thrown into the recycling bin *, make a crucial mistake.

Because the handle can be used just as well for cooking and also provides important vitamins and nutrients such as iron, calcium vitamins, A, C and E. Far too good to throw away.

And don't forget: it tastes just as delicious as the rest of the vegetables.

Also interesting:

No more mess in the kitchen: cut cauliflower like this from now on.

Use broccoli and cauliflower stalk: simply cook with them

First rinse the cabbage briefly or immerse it in cold water.

Washing too long will damage the delicate florets.

In order to preserve the vitamins and nutrients mentioned, broccoli and cauliflower in general should never be cooked too long, but should be steamed.

You don't even have to cut the vegetables, they can be

cooked whole

- even the leaves can be cooked

too

!

Here is a selection of delicious recipes in which you can simply cook and eat the stalk:

  • Try this wonderfully creamy broccoli soup with parmesan crunch

  • Light and tasty: cook cauliflower soup with peas and sausages

  • Cauliflower steaks: the vegetables have never been so delicious

Before doing this, however, you should remove any woody areas from the stalk, peel it if necessary and scratch it crosswise.

It is cooked at the same time as the cauliflower or broccoli florets.

The stalks from the two types of cabbage are particularly suitable for

soups and purees

, as they are finely pureed for them.

Or you can serve the cauliflower or broccoli stalk blanched as a delicious accompaniment to meat, fish and Co. The

stalk also looks good

in

casseroles or vegetable pans

.

Also delicious:

Fancy a vegetarian meatball alternative?

You have to try these patties.

Use raw broccoli and cauliflower stalk: crispy salad

Cauliflower and broccoli can even be consumed raw, then most of the vitamins are retained.

For example, you can

prepare

a delicious

raw vegetable salad

with the two types of cabbage, with apples, peppers or carrots.

Simply chop the broccoli or cauliflower on a kitchen grater.

But note: a raw broccoli drink is not easy to digest for all stomachs, but cauliflower is.

It is best to try a small amount first and see whether you can tolerate the cabbage raw.
