Organic Broccoli

I want to give an organic-and-affordable high five to the broccoli that is sold at my local Costco. At this present time, the only food item I buy from them is their Broccoli. The reason why? The price, it is frozen, and it is organic.

So what about that price?

The only reason why I feel someone would ever decide against organic in this day and age is the price to purchase it.

Costco sells 4 500g frozen bags for just under $10.00. Personally, for me that costs just under $2.50 per day (I think it is exactly $2.37). That is within my food budget.

Why frozen?

Some people will say vegetables are healthier quick frozen, and some will say fresh. Personally, if I think my food may not be fresh, or it may be even remotely bad, it goes in the garbage. I recognize my personal food-crazy behaviour, and I consider throwing away food both wasteful and lighting money on fire. Frozen prevents the opportunity to throw food down the garbage.

Convenience.

People are busy, and in a culture where everything is go-go-go, 60 seconds of effort can decide if someone reaches for a healthy option, or a box of Oreos. I am someone who is willing to commit 20 minutes a day to prepping and cooking my food. I feel a huge thing for me is convenience. Call me lazy, but the fact that this broccoli is already separated in 500g bags and ready to drop into a frying pan – warms my heart. Also, for those who are counting their macros and micros, it is 500g every serving, no eye-measuring and second guessing.

If you want a healthy, affordable and convenient option – nature’s touch organic broccoli is for you.
