Quick help please - yellow brocolli!

Fruball

Hello :wave:

Just a quick question...

I have suddenly become inspired to cook Chicken Divan (after posting about it a few days ago!) and altho I have all the ingredients in, my brocolli is looking a bit worse for wear and is going yellow.

its not mouldy and smells ok - but will it ruin my dish if I use it? Would you use it? Have you used yellow brocolli?!

Thanks in advance

I haven't used it and I wouldn't use it. I think by the time it is yellow it has lost any nutitional benefit and I would always have other veg that was fit to eat.

I have eaten yellow broccoli (usually means the flowers are about to bloom). Flavour & nutritional values are poor though.

I should have said, its going in a really rich sauce with chicken... Wouldn't like to serve it up on its own like that and can imagine it is nutritionally bereft!

Anyway, I cooked it, chucked it in the sauce and it doesn't taste any different to normal - perfectly fine
