Benefits of this Recipe
Broccoli has long been one of the more reviled vegetables.
Broccoli is a good source of fibre and protein, and contains iron, potassium, calcium, selenium and magnesium as well as the vitamins A, C, E, K and a good array of B vitamins including folic acid. Discover more about why we need fibre, vitamins and minerals.
Broccoli Can Help Fight Obesity-Related Diseases
When you think of foods high in vitamin C, you probably think of oranges and bananas. But though both are indeed high in vitamin C, they don’t hold a candle to the amount found in broccoli. A single serving of broccoli contains a remarkable 220 percent of the recommended daily value!
Broccoli Is a Cancer-Fighting Superhero
Broccoli belongs to a genus of plants known as brassica, a category that also includes kale, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and cabbage. A 1996 study found an inverse association between brassica consumption and the occurrence of stomach and lung cancer. The authors wrote: “It is concluded that a high consumption of brassica vegetables is associated with a decreased risk of cancer. This association appears to be most consistent for lung, stomach, colon and rectal cancer and least consistent for prostatic, endometrial and ovarian cancer.”
Broccoli Destroys Inflammation
Inflammation is the enemy of the human body.Inflammation occurs when blood and fluid pool in an area as a natural defense mechanism of the body. Left unchecked, inflammation can lengthen the recovery process. Chronic inflammation can sap your energy and lead to chronic diseases such as arthritis. Practically all vegetables help fight inflammation to some extent, but sulforaphane and kaempferol—a phytonutrient and a flavonoid found in broccoli—are especially potent.
