I've found bugs in broccoli SEVERAL times at salad bars in different restaurants. They are usually these little grey, dusty-looking bugs and they can crawl right up into the florets and hide SO WELL!

I couldn't eat broccoli for a while because of these experiences, but now I just REALLY check the florets CLOSELY and 9 times out of 10 there are no bugs present.

WASH, WASH, WASH the broccoli. (And that goes for other veggies, too!) I have to admit that I usually buy broccoli frozen just for this very reason. (or freeze my own when I buy it fresh) FREEZES THE CRITTERS DEAD!
