    I am also a fan of peeling and munching raw. So tender with a more delicate flavour.

    Growing up we called it trees (flower part)vs coins(sliced stem). Slice them into disks and prep exactly like you would the tree portion. I particularly like coins sauteed or steamed .I prefer trees roasted as the leafy bits brown nicer. Also coins are great for dips.

    Haven't tried it yet, but I seen on YouTube where they spiralized the stem into noodles the same as like a zucchini

    I love them. I slice them up to stir fry with chilli and garlic. I try not to use oil whilst cooking so I tend to mix up a small piece of stock (I use low salt stock cubes) with a small amount of boiling water and chuck it all into a pan. I have this as a side vegetable or I'll add cooked brown rice and have it as a main meal.

    I'm hungry for broccoli now :D

    Shredded raw, add some shredded carrots and if you like some shredded cabbage, make broccoli slaw . I often add some dried cranberries or dried cherries , red chopped onion and make my own nondairy dressing. Love it!

    Anything you cook with broccoli, slice the stems (I like them sliced vertically) and then toss them in.
