Broccoli out here catfishing the kitchen scale. I’d trust it with my secrets.

did it cost the same as the 300g? if so win!

That is one seriously heavy label
TNF734 on
Labeling implies the minimum weight.
They aren’t going to sit there carving off pieces until it hits 300g.

Take the heads, drizzle in olive oil with some chopped garlic and chilli; roast for 15-20 minutes at 180c.
Thank me later.

That broccoli walked into the weight section once and never looked back.

Yep, happens over here where I live, they charge by the unit, which usually is 300g, but I always choose the biggest since it is noticeable heavier than 300h when you pick it up.

Lidl staff here, the broccolis do come in huge weight variations. It’s listed as 300g as that’s the minimum it’ll be but yeah worth digging around for bigger one it’s crazy how much bigger some can be

Does it have a large chonky stem? Maybe they’re being nice and not counting that part — rare, but possible.

I would’ve guessed thats the minimum

I once went to a grocery store that sold cauliflowers by the unit instead of weight, and most were just barely larger than my hand and the price reflected that. Except for one. There was one colossus that was almost double the size of my head… wasn’t a very difficult choice!

I hate to be a buzz kill here , but how big is the stem … This is always what I’m thinking when getting broccoli, I eat a lot like a one head every other day pretty much and I noticed the weight discrepancy

Must be some heavy plastic

Same here, they sell 250g but most of them are huge. They also put them in a styrofoam base that breaks with the weight.

We can still use bananas for measuring size, but have found broccoli a poor vegetable to use as a scale for weight.

“Mom! I’m done with dinner.”
“You haven’t eaten all your broccoli yet!”
“How many more bites do I need to do?”
“Only 300g.”

They set a minimum weight to ensure every crown is in compliance, and sometimes big guys slip through.
