When you bring your broccoli in from the garden, soak the heads in a….

Salt water mixture (1-2 tablespoons salt per gallon of water) for 20-30 minutes before cooking or storing. This will drive out any cabbageworms hiding in the heads. Broccoli will keep for a week or so in the refrigerator if wrapped in plastic. The best way to store broccoli for longer periods is to blanch and freeze it.
