Store broccoli in the refrigerator, ideally in the crisper drawer, to maintain its freshness. Keep it unwashed and wrapped loosely in a plastic or perforated bag to allow for some airflow. Use within 3-5 days for the best flavor and texture. Avoid freezing raw broccoli unless it is blanched first to preserve its color and nutrients.
