Harvesting Broccoli

Question

I believe some of my broccoli has started bolting. I am harvesting today. If some of the flowers have turned brown and the stems appear to grow needles, is it still good to eat?

Answer 1

Thanks, I had already read those articles.... I just wasn't sure if the broccoli was OK when it is a bit seedy and brown. I am guessing that it may have lost some of the nutrients, but it will be OK............ right?
