Broccoli shouldn't taste bitter and organic broccoli certainly shouldn't. But the one I got did. And it tasted horrible. I ate the steamed broccoli a good hour ago and still have the bitter taste on my tongue. To get rid of it, I ate chocolate in the meantime. No luck, something must have gone wrong in the broccoli field...
Hi Colibri2015 I'm sorry that the organic broccoli tasted very bitter. I have made some enquiries about this. It is possible that broccoli becomes bitter due to the ethylene, for example if it was stored next to apples before consumption. The other possibility is that the broccoli was already overripe. However, you can usually notice this from the unpleasant smell when you unpack it. The people responsible have been informed of your message and are keeping the issue under observation for the time being. I wish you a pleasant evening. Kind regards, Angela

Hi Angela I bought the broccoli and cooked it the same day. And it looked absolutely perfect, almost exceptionally beautiful. And at least for me it wasn't next to apples. I am an elderly vegetarian and have cooked and eaten a lot of broccoli in my life. Just to clarify, but thank you very much for your efforts and have a good time. Sibylla
