    Maybe with processing it goes mushy, or too soft! You would think that they would though, everything else can be canned, so why not broccoli?? Good question!

    because it would explode

    it would create so much gas from being in he CAN it would become an feared weapon and end up being outlawed....

    plus when you open the can..the smell would be horrible and the broccoli would be so so mushy..

    good luck

    What a great Question!!

    I just realised you can't by cauliflower in a can either.

    You're really clever to notice that.

    I THINK IT'S BECAUSE.....BROCCOLI IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE BOUGHT IT A CAN IS A VEGETABLE THAT NEEDS AIR TO SO THAT IT DOES NOT GET MOLDLY AND SLIMY. I HOPE THIS HELPS!!

    Who says you can't?

    The question is: Why don't manufacturers offer it?

    The answer is: Nobody would buy it.

    It would go soggy and break into little pieces.
