Description

Frozen broccoli spears are a presentation of broccoli where the florets are cut and shaped into small elongated pieces, similar to spears, which are then frozen to preserve all their freshness and nutrients. This format makes it easy to use in the kitchen, allowing for quick preparation and a uniform texture in various dishes such as stir-fries, soups, stews, and side dishes.

Broccoli is a vegetable belonging to the Brassicaceae family, native to the Mediterranean, and has been cultivated since ancient times, particularly in Italy. It is rich in vitamins C and K, folic acid, as well as dietary fiber and antioxidants, making it an ideal ingredient for a healthy and balanced diet.

In different Latin American countries, broccoli is also known as bróculi, frozen broccoli sticks, or simply broccoli spears. Its frozen version helps maintain its nutritional properties and flavor, offering a practical option for including this vegetable in your daily diet without worrying about its rapid loss of freshness.

When using frozen broccoli spears in your recipes, you benefit from the convenience of a ready-to-cook ingredient that helps prepare nutritious and delicious dishes in less time.
