EverydayFresh

Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable in the Brassica family, closely related to cabbage and cauliflower, known for its dense green florets and firm stalks. This nutrient-dense vegetable provides significant vitamin C, dietary fiber, and sulfur-containing compounds linked to antioxidant benefits. When fresh, it retains a crisp texture when raw and develops tender-crisp bite when steamed or roasted, with both florets and peeled stalks being edible.
