Abstract
A method of forming an ice glazing within the canopy of broccoli florets to preserve the floret structure and reduce fines loss. The steps include individually freezing the broccoli florets, and immersing the florets in water of a temperature and for an amount of time sufficient to form an ice glazing within the structure of the floret. The method of glazing preserves the structure of the floret during processing and subsequent handling and reduces fines loss.
