Brocolli "insect free"?

Broccoli "insect free"? Yes, Go to your supermarket and purchase nice heads of fresh broccoli. Cut off & discard the florets, wash the cut up stalks lengthwise.

You have fresh broccoli, all of the vitamins are in the stalks. (the insect protein are in the florets)

Broccoli stalk is less flavorful than the florets, and its nutritional profile is slightly different, being notably higher in calcium and Vitamin C, but lower in other key nutrients.

RE: Bdatz Brocolli in EY. It was produced by Eden Company. For months the Bdatz rejected their brocolli 7 it wasn't available in EY.
You could find some of it with the BTam label being sold in the USA.

I guess that the Bdatz doesn't want it in EY as it's only good for the americans that love heteirim.

It's interesting that the Bdatz only accepts from Eden maybe once in a few months but for the Americans "it's good enough".

Maybe they should upgrade their standards?

BTW- What's doing with Edens whole heads of romaine, with special systems, etc?

The Bdatz? hasn't had brocolli for months, they don't accept the Equdorian hot house system.

Some in the kashrus field are of the opinion that many if not most mashgichim & Rabonim aren't experts in insect checking. If it stares them in the eye they'll see it.

By Nikur, one must be trained & tested and become certified. Some are certified for the front quarter, some are certified for the hind quarter as well.

Why not by insect checking isn't there a system of certification to ascertain the level of expertise.

While we are at it, all mashgichim should be certified after testing as to their level of expertise.

We find that many mashgichim do not have the level of expertise required for their various assignments in hashgocha work.

The Queens Vaad thinks that a mashgiach can check fresh broccoli after it's soaked in hot water, as if that gets rid of the bugs. Sometimes there is a stand in mashgiach who gets sent to the job with no instructions and even that much is not done.

To all of you "know it alls" the badatz just did another run in ecuador in the past few weeks.

To all you Equador mashgichim who think they know insect checking. The Bdatz's "BTam" brocolli has been selling only in the USA, because the Bdatz didn't feel too comfortable with the sichirah.

Equador mashgichim alledgedly in the cars that were almost hijacked, "bubah maises".

Where is your Romain, with the special process.

Why is it good enough for the americans but not for the Bdatz? Time to change your standards.

Anonymous said...

According to import / export records no Prechecked Romaine heads arived from Equador in quite some time. Is there a problem? Give you 2 guesses.

in regards to the brocolli, in order to make it insect free, besides removing the florrets and using just the stalks, before you wash it you have to peel the stalks in order to remove the triangle flaps, that may have insrcts beneath them. it is similar to the asparragus stalk that before washing it has to be peeled after removing the heads.

for your information i had someone check it out in e.y. and they do sell the b'tam brand of broccoli,califlower,and mixes with the eidah hechser in e.y.

Generally in EY, the BTAM brocolli is not readily available. The last one was meade in Elul of last year, but for the Americans it's good enough.

Where's the whole heads of romain from Equador? check it out via import export.

Anonymous said...

thats a blatant lie . the last eida run was in the past few weeks.and what shaichus does it have with the rommaine??

Anonymous said...

But the bdatz didn't want it for quite some time, that's why in EY they didn't have it "only from an old (yoshon) production.
So now they decided to take it, you should be happy about it.

What happened to the romaine heads?

With Strawberries the game plan is to take some mashgichim that can't inspect for anything, make a production. Then you bring in Reb Shia (who was almost abducted?) and either they take more of the strawberries or they don't, but the bulk hut mehn shoin genuhmen.

Import Export records say it's strawberry season in Mexico. Reb Shia is afraid to get hijacked again? what a bluff. Srulik zugt deh parnussah iz git, furt mehn.

Milwaukee SAYS: What is this fighting here all about?
Who are you guys working for? Are you guys mashgichim? Company people? Pls describe for us regular people what's going on here? Because I do not understand half of the stuff here?

Anonymous said...

can someone explain how we got from broccoli to strawberries?
from equador to mexico?
wow!
i"m lost.

Anonymous said...

Mashgichim that think they can check & approve strawberries are not qualified, therefore their Brocolli, etc is also not reliable.

Equador to Mexico? Brocolli & romain is done in Equador, Strawberries are done in mexico.

The mashgichim are experts in the buck for theselves, so they'll attack anything that questions the reliabilty of these bedikas. They are not experts. Experts wouldn't use the florets, nor the unpeeled frozen strawberries, nor raspberries. Etc.

so your not happy with the hot house equadorian b'tam products, whats the story with bodek or positive or all the ou products that might have tolaim issues?

Anonymous said...

Here in BP they sell all brands I didn't know that all the company's have an issue with their produce regarding toloim. Are you claiming that they are all on the same level ?

pushiter yid said...

HEY R' YUDEL,thats not a bad idea.Why don't you compile a full review on the b'dikas tolaim required foods that would cover all the companies that supply us with their products. For example Bodek-fresh and frozen,Positive,OU,OK,Star k,CRC etc.

You are not so poshit.

its very interesting and very coincidental, and i wonder why.

for some reason you covered every one except EDEN. Did you forget who you work for?????

lakewood kollel yungerman said...

great idea,pushiter yid. r' yudel please do that,enliten us!

Anonymous said...

Shmiel Duvid works for Bertram Eden and it's a conflict that he also controls the mashgichim & who knows what else?

He knows the business, we need mashgichim but more important we need product. Family mashgichim miz min oich nitzen. We need to use "oich" the bessereh mashgichim "ammull', as long as we have product. So vee use bote, de shvacheh ind de bessereh, azoi vee beim dor hamabul, mi hut tzvai.

Business iz business.

pushiter yid said...

to mr. anonymous,
the reason i didn't mention eden was because that was included in the comment before from anonymous that you are not happy with equadorian hot houses so i took it as a pashtus that your review should be about the others too.
