OK, what's up with this?

[no_hypocrisy]

I bought broccoli at my green grocer.

The florets looked fine: firm and green.

But the stems were pure white. Not even chiffon green.

If there is no green, there is no chloroform, right? And no chloroform means likely little or no nutrients, right?

It was one thing for strawberries to be red on the outside but white on the inside. But broccoli?

Anyone have an opinion on this?

1. It's just a little less than ripe. They're still plenty good for you. They may have grown on the shade side of the row.

2. Chlorophyll. But yes,

Probably needed more time in the sun.
