I can’t believe I haven’t even touched on this mighty vegetable yet! I am a fortunate lover of broccoli and it has become our stand-by vegetable. If nothing else looks good at the market, the broccoli always does! It is just such a versatile veggie. You can use it in dips, casseroles, soups, salads, stir-fry, frittatas, omelets or just plain steamed with some lemon! If there is any leftover, I will freeze and use it for future dishes.
The many benefits of broccoli; the abundance of antioxidants makes it one of the healthiest vegetables you can eat. Aside from its anti-cancer properties such as sulforaphane, broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse that contains vitamin A, C and K, as well as folate and fiber. Has antibacterial properties that kill helicobacter pylori, bacteria that cause ulcers and play a role in stomach cancer.
