Quality
Good quality broccoli should have dark or bright green closed florets. The head should be compact, with a cleanly cut stalk of the required length. There should be no yellow florets and there should be no discoloration on the stem bracs.
Temperature
Low temperature is extremely important to achieve adequate shelf life in broccoli. A temperature of 0⁰ is required to optimize broccoli storage life (21 – 28 days). Heads storage at 5⁰ can have a storage life of 14 days; storage life at 10⁰ is about 5 days.
