Do you have to peel broccoli stalks?
Online Answer
Basically, if they're being cooked for a long time, leave the skin on, and if it's just for a few minutes, peel it. And if you're eating the broccoli stems raw—which we highly recommend—peeling and chopping or slicing thinly as possible is non-negotiable. Peeling broccoli stems is easy.
