COLLECT: Broccoli truck turns disaster into charity
Non-profit organisations are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.
A truck carrying quality broccoli to be packaged for retail, overturned just outside Newcastle yesterday, (August 23).
The remaining stock is now being distributed to the community.
Approximately 10 tons of broccoli is still available at 33 Boundary Road, Lennoxton.
The owners are giving away the luscious green vegetable for free to all who want it!
Own transport and packaging is required, and all stock needs to be cleared today, due to expiration reasons.
Non-profit organisations are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.

Not sure what to do with bags of broccoli? Here are 5 ways to enjoy broccoli:
1. Soups -Make your soups mean something, adding broccoli and other vegetables to soups adds nutrition, flavour and texture, resulting in a satisfying dish.
2. Right out of the bag – Raw broccoli is great for snacking, dipping or munching when you’re bored. It also adds a little crunch to green and fruit salads.
3. Steam it – Steaming locks in nutrition and colour, so your plate looks as good as it is for you.
4. Perfect in pasta – Blanche broccoli florets tossed with a little olive oil and add to any pasta, makes for a fulfilling meal.
5. Bake it – Anytime you’re considering frying…chances are you can bake it instead! Enjoy a broccoli bake as a great side to any dish.
