I have broccoli in my own freezer bags, that I put together, especially when they are $.49/lb! With some love and time putting it together, it is a well-worth way to save money in your wallet. I have tried just freezing some chopped broccoli without blanching it, and ended up throwing it all out from a bad/spoiled taste!
Just take your broccoli crowns, and dunk them into boiling water for 3-5 minutes.
Then, place them into ice cold water to stop the cooking process.
When ready, start prepping/chopping to the desired form.
I place 3-4 cups of chopped broccoli into freezer bags. Don't forget to label and date.
