Humans in many cultures have found uses for lichens â as food, fiber, medicine and poison, dyes, decoration, and, in some parts of the world, as perfume. Many kinds of lichen can be eaten; only a few are poisonous.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Broccoli slaw is a variation of traditional coleslaw with shredded raw broccoli stalks substituted for cabbage. It may also contain mayonnaise, carrots, vinegar or lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper. It is commonly served at potlucks or covered dish parties. It is also called broccoli cole slaw or broccoli slaw salad.
Sometimes I use the stems on their own, for such dishes as pickled broccoli stems or broccoli slaw. But just as often I use the two in the same dish. I like their different textures and flavors; the stems are crunchy if they arenât overcooked, and have a subtler flavor.
