I cut off about 1/8" off the bottom to remove the root and then use
about 80% of the rest and toss the last inch or so of green.
I eat the florets of broccoli and the little bit of the stem they are
attached to. I don't eat the stalks, but my wife saves them and eats
them. When I trim the extreme tips of beans at both ends. While snow
peas I slice the ends most of the way through and then pull them off and
hope that any stringy spine comes off. That saves me from have those
strings hanging halfway down my through. We usually roast (butternut)
squash and then scoop out the flesh down to the skin.
