It is important to check your broccoli before cooking or eating it to make sure it is still fresh and safe to consume. Here are some signs that your broccoli may have gone bad:
- The broccoli has a strong, unpleasant odor.
- The florets are turning yellow or brown and have a slimy texture.
- The stems are mushy or have started to rot.
If you notice any of these signs, it is best to discard the broccoli and avoid eating it.
