Ladies, how often can broccoli be found on your plates? This green vegetable which resembles a miniature tree is extremely healthy. Broccoli supplies our body with vitamins and minerals, while its antioxidant composition cleans our body of free radicals which cause over 150 medical illnesses. The nutritional value of this food strengthens the immune system and therefore helps prevent viruses during winter. Most often broccoli is combined with other ingredients thus can be found in salads, pastas, risotto and most recently, smoothies. Slow cooking this food will cause it to lose most of its nutritional value, which is why only blanching, or grilling is recommended as a prep method.
