BROCCOLI NUTRITION VALUES Broccoli is one of
the most nutritious vegetables, it contains complex
carbohydates (fiber), protein, vitamin C, vitamin A,
potassium, folic acid, calcium and  iron. Broccoli is
also a good source of anti-oxidants such s beta
carotene, folic acid and lutein. It is believed that
Broccoli helps regulate blood sugar, prevent high

Studies show that using a lot of water to cook
vegetables can cause them to lose much of their
cancer-fighting antioxidants. Most of the
anti-oxidants are water-soluble, during boiling, they
leak into the cooking water, reducing the nutritional
benefits of the veggies.
