Maybe a stupid question....

I really have not researched this at all, but maybe I won't have to if the all mighty DIS board members know the answer! I seem to recall that raw veggies are available in the food courts around the world. I do not recall seeing any broccoli. My 9 year old loves it...but it has to be raw. He would trade a cookie and the grapes for just a little tree of broccoli!

With that said..it's not a new thing for him, I just never came across it in our past trips. I indulge my kids when they pick the healthy choice....and have been a victim of the DDP, where there is no choice. So does anyone one know where I can find raw broccoli?

I haven't seen any last year at AS movies nor POR. I didn't see any either at Sunshine at epcot or cosmic ray at MK. Just like you, my girls love it and we would have gotten some if there was any. I only saw carrots, tomatoes and celeries

I haven't seen it at Quick Service places, but my DS special ordered uncooked broccoli at a couple Table Service places. Sometimes the server was surprised, but we always got it without any problem.

I know Columbia Harbor House at MK offers cooked broccoli as a side. Perhaps they could find some uncooked broccoli in the kitchen if you asked?

Sorry to stick my nose in here, but raw broccoli may not be the best choice speaking strictly from a food safety standpoint. You might want to try blanching it very quickly (20-25 seconds) in boiling water then dropping it into ice water (shocking) to stop the cooking process. This way, it'll retain the color, texture and nutritional benefits of raw but you'll have made sure all those small places inside the head have been exposed to bacteria killing heat.
