Soup Making Tips -
Do Not Wash Before Storing Broccoli
Do not wash broccoli before storing as it can cause molding or decay. Store broccoli in a plastic bag with holes or leave it open to allow air circulation. Fresh broccoli should be stored in the refrigerator and used within three to five days. Broccoli can also be blanched and frozen for up to 12 months.

Soup Making Tips -
Storing Broccoli
Broccoli is susceptible to the effects of ethylene gas that can be found in such fruits as apples, cantaloupe, bananas, apricots, kiwi, mango, pears, peaches and tomatoes. Broccoli should not be stored with these fruits as the ethylene gas they give off will causes broccoli to ripen too quickly and greatly shorten the life of the vegetable.
