Broccoli is one of the popular vegetables for its unique texture and light taste.
Broccoli is also known as a vegetable preferred by dieters because it is low in calories and rich in nutrients such as vitamins, potassium, and fiber.
However, if you eat broccoli, you may eat a lot of larvae undesirably, so you will need to wash thoroughly before eating.
Recently, the online media Good Times reported a shocking investigation finding that broccoli had a large number of caterpillars.
The reason there are so many worms in broccoli is because of the structure of broccoli which is very easy for worms to hide.
The most common insect found on broccoli is the larva of the 'Plutella xylostella'.
These worms are very small in size and the body is light green like broccoli, so it is easy to eat them by mistake unless you look closely.
In reality, according to the International Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO), people who eat broccoli also eat 1600 worms.
Therefore, it is recommended to thoroughly wash broccoli when you wanna eat broccoli. Here's how to properly wash broccoli:
First, use a knife to divide the stem and then cut it into smaller pieces again. Then, add a small amount of salt and flour to water and wash for 5 to 10 minutes.
This is because the salt and flour are pretty good at sterilizing the worms hidden inside the broccoli and removing the dust.
Proper washing makes broccoli delicious and healthy.
