Sorry, I meant sprouting broccoli. I do have a shredder, so Ill give it
a try.

I've seen broccoli stems shredded (and I suspect the outer rind removed)
and sold as "broccoli slaw!" If they're not too tough, might be worth a
go.


Anything with tough stems, I slit lengthways when putting in the compost to
let the bugs get at all of it.

Most shredders love clogging on tough brassica stalks. Steve's system of
lengthways split works for me.
