About Broccoli
Broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse among vegetables. One cup of chopped broccoli provides 150% of your daily vitamin C and over 130% of vitamin K. It belongs to the cruciferous family along with cauliflower and kale, and is rich in sulforaphane — a compound studied extensively for its potential anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.
