- I am trying to use my garden as effectively as possible. So most people harvest the "fruit" of the plants like the broccoli floret and then either compost or throw the rest of the plant to the chickens, But the leaves of these plants Broccoli, Cabbage, Brussel sprouts, Kale, etc are very nutritious and delicious!!!! Here is a simple way to prepare these yummy leaves. Hope you like it.
New gardener here. Starting my garden as we speak. I’ve Thank you for this.
I much rather eat the flavorful leaves over the florets any day! The only downside is, if you don’t grow your broccoli you will never know what you are missing. There’s never any leftovers in my house.😊
Watching this at 8:30 in the morning, I'm ready to cook some greens! Looks so good!
I put my broccoli leaves in my smoothie.
Thank you for advice!
Good recipe. Been eating them for a couple years in salads, soups, casseroles and stews Also try cauliflower leaves. Cook them like collards. Bam!
yes ! The leaves are delicious!!
The stems also nice after cooked 😌 I just put the stems in the boiling water them the leave for about couple minutes, touch of coconut oil. Crunchy and yummy 😋
Excellent video...
Love the cat food and the kids photos right next to where you're "getting the business done"...
I can relate...ha!
Cheers

I am so happy for this video. The amount of broccoli leave I have thrown out I could beat myself. Never knew they were edible.
Tried this recipe today, yummy.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this video
I cooked these tonight for dinner and they were delicious! It tastes so much like collard greens. Thanks for this vid! I cooked mine a similar way for about 45min
Kanika W so good!!!
Awesome! I have lots of broccoli leaves
OMG... delicious 😋 they taste like collards and my family didn't notice the difference.
Broccoli leaves are my favorite veg.
Did the same thing with a mixture of mustard greens and turnip greens from my garden. Got some young garlic from the garden along with a ham bone I kept in the freezer from Easter Season. Boiled the bone till all the meat came off, put in an onion and the young garlics, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes in the water with the meat. Threw away the bones. Put the greens in and cook till they are tender. (hubby don't like mushy greens). Turn off the heat and splash with a little Tabasco. YUM!
Just what I needed, thanks!
Big fan of broccoli leaves and kale with onion and garlic fried up in bacon grease. You can do this with any green. If you don't eat greens you are really missing out on some of the best food you can eat.
Wow that look so good. I grew broccoli and cabbage this season. The broccoli leaves work well. I made a veggie medley and had it with rice. I tasted amazing. Thanks for sharing your recipe.😊👏🏽🌻❤
Never had it. Can't wait to try.
Interesting...thanks
Very good recipe! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this.
Wow, thank you, I harvested some leaves, didn't have garlic but sauteed the onions with some bacon....BAM. My youngest had no problem eating this, should have harvested more, lol.
I will be growing more in the fall for sure! Thanks for watching
I usually make pesto out of them, but I'm gonna try this.
What is homestead? I searched on all dictionaries, could not find a clue. This is what I get "a house, especially a farmhouse, and outbuildings." That says nothing about what is referred to in this video. What the hell is homestead? Sounds everybody already know, even though you can't find from dictionary.
Thanks for sharing. I learned something new
Perfect Thanks!!!
Nice one. Growing my first season of different crops and wondering how to cook them. This has certainly helped. Cheers.
Awesome I hope you enjoy!!! Thanks for watching
Thanks for this recipe 👍👍
Its very tasty!!! Thanks for watching
Saw this yesterday in the market.I got curious how to cook it.So your video is what I found!
It might not be the best video!!! but they turned out delicious enjoy
@@riverasurbanhomestead7564 yeah i bought some of this today..ill try what i can do with it!Thanks!
The broccoli leafs do taste great and very easy and quick to cook. The whole Broccoli plant is addable including the flowers that goes to seeds. You can also eat it at any stage of growth. Micro Broccoli taste wonderful to don't just toss those out if your thinning your new baby plants. Use those spout's in salads and sandwiches or eat just the way they are.
Very tasty!! I sometimes do broccoli microgreens
I can't wait to try these. I was worried that I'd have to put them all in the compost bin!
They turned out great! My last video was on cooking southern Georgia collard and brusells sprout leaves in the crock pot!!! Yummo Enjoy
I knew those leaves should be edible. Thanks! First thing in the morning I'm grabbing some big broccoli leaves to cook with sliced carrots and onions. Yes!
Heck yah sounds great!!!
This recipe has seriously changed my life. I tried it with collard greens and it changed my life. I will be applying this base to many yummy veggies to come in the future. Thank you so much. :-)
So glad you enjoyed the video!!! We still use that recipe to this day of course
This year was my first time planting Broccoli and I was just wondering what to do with the leaves other than freezing them but this was a great save me....just tried it still on the oven waiting on them to get done. Thanks for sharing!!
Hope they came out good!!!
I bet you adding some red pepper flakes would be good too. im gonna try this.
Definitely came out better than the kale chips. Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Best wishes Bob.
Thanks Bob, Not bad for the first try. The kale chips on the other hand had great flavor just a little brittle! Lol
That looked delish 😊
They came out very good, I am going to try it with my cabbage plants after I harvest those heads as well!!

You can chop the stem finely and steam fry it (no oil or butter just water) we do..yum!
Do what your doing . Once it softens add Ricotta cream. You will just eat the whole lot. ❤😘
That looks really delicious! I've heard you can eat the leaves, but I've never tried it. I'm going to this year!! Thanks again!! Happy New Year!
Super easy and very good.. Im glad I found another use for them!!
Thank you
I put broccoli leaves in with my kale shake, it is for professionals only, i.e. a little rough, but the health benefits is very good. You got a good channel man I enjoy the videos.
Thanks man I appreciate it. My son kept messing with me to start a channel and now I look forward to doing the videos. A fun hobby to go along with the garden!
From what I understand - after you harvest the broccoli head, leave the plant cause it will give another head of broccoli!
True, it will give you multiple small side heads for a short time. Thanks so much for watching!!
The plant will give you several other plants, but it is better to cut the main plant 2 to 3 inches from ground, this will help the plant to put all the energy into the new shoots.
Small ones are delish!
I didn't know the leaves are edible haha!
I'm actually here looking for a way to solve my problem with the tiny caterpilar-thing eating under the leaves of my growing broccoli plant then I'm suddenly here. Anyway, thanks for this video, now I know what to cook for dinner ^_^
Heard somewhere to use “ tule” same fabric stuff they use in wedding dresses. It’s cheap on Amazon. You drape it over your broccoli plants as they grow. It keeps the white butterflies off your plants, which lay the eggs that turn into worms that eat your broccoli n cabbages. It’s a thought.?
I was wondering if he didnt have those same white butterflies in his area or if he only picked the whole untouched leaves.. Would it be best to only pick the whole leaves I wonder.
I'm not sure I can bring myself too eat the leaves just yet!! But that does look good though!! :-)!!
Quite yummo!!! Give it a try
Have cooked the leaves in tofu and oyster sauce and I love it.
DON'T include the stems... Too Chewey and Stringy.
LOOKS DELISH
Mine are ready now ! (in Australia) A really nice addition if they are ripe in your garden is to add a few tomatoes diced up - nice & tasty & nutritious.
Sounds yummo!!!
Alright. I'm giving in and could use help. :)
I planted several food plants for the first time last spring.
No idea what this one group of plants are. Lol. I had to let them just grow on their own to see what they would produce. They have a stalk like broccoli but they initially grew along the grown (vine style) about two feet before growing upwards about another foot tall. No florets just lots of leaves. I THINK I planted Italian broccoli, so maybe that's them?Regardless, it's JANUARY and there will be a freeze sooner or later. What would you do with or to them?
Afraid to eat the leaves since I'm not positive what they are but don't really want to kill them either.
Im so down for that! But sir yall don't season it?
Onions, Garlic, Butter... Now, what cane we throw in? Kale and Broccoli! It will be great! It will be ready in 10 more minutes. Thanks
I suppose this also applies to Romanesco leaves? Can you freeze the leaves? Thanks!
I just started a garden a month back, I have one brocoli plant that is huge, I did not realize you could eat the leaves, i am going out right now and start to harvest the leaves and eat as a salad.
Enjoy!!!!
chop up the stem finely n steam that also we do...
I dehydrate my broccoli leaves. Add them to soups, Illtalian food. Etc. And cabbage.
Great idea Thanks...
Saute in butter and minced garlic, add salt, pink and black pepper a pinch of paprika.
That sounds good. I'm about to harvest some of my Georgia Southern collards maybe I'll do them that way thanks
Sir, do you cut the second leaf that grow from under a main leaf, for the bigger crop size?
I did not.
Your cooking makes me hungry ! Im amazed however how much energy is needed to prep the meal. 40 minutes cook time is a LOT of AC. I can afford it but do you have any other recipes that are delicious and low energy ?
Kohlrabi has to be the most useful plant! It belongs to the brassica family too. About the only part you can't eat is the skin on the bulbous part and the small root that goes into the ground. I eat the leaves just like I eat the leaves from broccoli and cauliflower.
Have cooked the leaves in tofu and oyster sauce.
I love it.... But I included the stems which I found to be... Stringy and Chewey.
I would leave the stems out next time.
Yeah I toss them to the chickens!!!
I'm going to make this for dinner tonight but instead of of pork chops I'm using steak I hope it tastes as good as it looks
I hope it turned out awesome!!!!
Did you leave the root back in the ground will it spring more leaf
They will but I fed the rest to the chickens 🐔
How do you keep the pests from eating your leaves before your harvest?
As far as the broccoli leaves go I did not have an issue at all with pests on them
The stems are also high in nutrition and equally edible.
Is sautéing them the only way to cook them? Are they safe to eat raw? Roasted?
You can chop them up and add them to salad or even blend into smoothies!!!
Thanks for answering my question. Well done. Just one thing, it’s ‘nutrients’ not ‘nutriences’. Sorry , but I’m an English teacher and too many people confuse ‘ent’ with ‘ence’.
OMG, they are soooo good !!! People just dumb !!!
40 minutes on heat, after that is there any nutritional value left?
Not sure of the breakdown but they are delicious!!!
Lion-Heart IV Lose the oil and butter, 2 versions of saturated fat - heart killers, and use low sodium stock or go old school and use water and various spices to reduce the leaves with no salt. The H2O, plus spices, plus leaf-breakdown-juice - eat it all together and nothing get’s lost. I find it reduces in under 5 minutes.
Matthew Van Matre , you don’t know much about getting the best out of your vegetables mate.

@@matthewvanmatre5137 i completely agree i winced when i saw the butter! one can steam fry it or even better how about chopping it up raw like coleslaw put in salad eh! why cook all the enzymes out of it makes it kinda useless
Look at all these nutritionist acting like everything has to be super healthy and not satisfy your taste sometimes
Do you have to wait till the broccoli is harvested before you eat the leaves?
No pick when ever taking some of the leaves off help some in growth of broccoli head
I won’t be discarding the leaves! 👍🏽
Don't there tasty!!!
I have not been successful in growing broccoli. How do you do this? My broccoli just never got going at all. When do you plant them? Maybe I put the seeds out too late? I live in zone 6a
I usually plant in October here in zone 9
In zone 6, you should start with plant starts rather than seeds. Unless you start the seeds indoors early.
Timing is everything. Watch for first frost. I start in fall to lay seeds . I'm in EL PASO so our winters arnt so cold.
Haha! Giant leaves, giant hands, and...tiny knife!
at least it was a santoku
😂🤣
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂
can you eat the stems too? I eat my kale and swiss chard stems
Sure can!
Great, thanks!
🙃
put some crisp bacon in that pot too lol
YUMMY !!
Yes they are!!!
OMG, sauted and then cooked for 40minutes? No veggie needs to cook that long. I know that broccoli & cauliflower greens are tough, but look at the color of the leaves...a dull green! All the nutrient are gone from the cooking. Here's a tip to cook that green. Blanch it for 3 or 4 minutes & drain. Stir fry or saute like you did with the onions & garlic without the chicken broth or having to cover it anymore. You will be surprised that the green maintain a bright green and it's not tough to chew anymore. If you want the healthiest, steam it instead of blanching it and then stir fry/saute. Fyi, cut out over half an hour on cooking it and check this video out on stir frying veggies: ruclips.net/video/k3_rRmeDJW0/видео.html
Thanks for the advice
Here is the question... Can you steal leaves from the broccoli plant before the broccoli is completely grown?
Left handed?
Sure am, Just like my mama!!!
broccoli rabe
Looks good but that's definitely more than a table spoon of butter 😂
Give or take!!! Lol 😆
I like stems, I must be off.
Gon and throw some smoked meat and jalapenos and a dash of vinegar and eat with some cornbread (baked or hot water) and some Frank's Red Hot or Louisiana hot sauce
Most of the nutrients are lost in the cooking process, it would be better to steam them.
I know but they taste so Dang good the way I did it! But truthfully I grew them for the broccoli heads and This was my 1st time ever trying the leaves.
@@riverasurbanhomestead7564 looks delish! was looking just what to do with my 50ish plants...last year they went to my animals, I can give them vegies from last year. Thanks! I think I will throw in some freshly harvested garlic scapes too, oh and some lardons ;)
thats not a tablespoon of butter..lol
After you cut broccoli wait 40 minutes before you cook it. Put some raw in at the end too. That adds more nutrition, the important stuff. Try to go vegan too, its even healthier.
That the same as cabbage
this should not take more than 10 min.
I found that broccoli and Brussels sprouts leaves take longer than, for example, spinach or Swiss chard, and they are thicker. Mine took about half an hour.
Left hand cutting looks dangerous
Lol ive been doing it for awhile!!
40 minutes, it's overcooked
Talk too much. Get to it =)
SPACE-MAN lol fast forward
overcooked
Pork chops? Ew disgusting
Thank you for advice!
