About Fresh broccoli

Broccoli, a vibrant green cruciferous vegetable, originates from the Mediterranean and has become a staple in global cuisines. Renowned for its nutrient density, fresh broccoli is packed with vitamins C, K, and A, as well as fiber, folate, and potassium. It’s also a rich source of antioxidants, such as sulforaphane, which may support cellular health and bolster the immune system. Versatile in cooking, broccoli pairs well in stir-fries, soups, or simply steamed as a nutritious side dish. Its low calorie content and high fiber make it ideal for promoting digestion and maintaining a healthy weight. Though generally healthy, consuming broccoli in excessive amounts may cause mild digestive discomfort for some due to its fiber and sulfur compounds. With its mix of essential nutrients and health benefits, broccoli earns its reputation as a powerhouse food for balanced diets.
