2. Mites in your frozen broccoli.
It is considered over the limit of mites on broccoli when ones checked “average of 60 or more aphids and/or thrips and/or mites per 100 grams”, according to the FDA.
Although, the bugs are harmless to eat, knowing you may be eating dozens of them in a large bowl of broccoli is off-putting, to say the least.
Don’t let this discourage you from eating this powerful cruciferous vegetable. Just make sure you soak and rinse them well before consumption.
