Use the broccoli within 10-14 days.
Yes, you can freeze broccoli for up to a year. Although you can just toss the washed vegetable into a freezer bag, blanching it results in better-looking, fresher-tasting, and more nutritious broccoli.
Wash and cut the head into florets and the stem into pieces. Place the pieces in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes to blanch them. Remove the broccoli from the boiling water immediately, and cool it by submerging it in ice water for 5 minutes. Drain and dry completely, then place the broccoli in freezer bags to store in the freezer. Once you're ready to use your frozen broccoli, either transfer the bag into the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight, or use it directly in your dish while cooking.
