Your green vegetables and fruits help to protect your bones, teeth, and eyesight. Some of these are Kiwi, honeydew, romaine lettuce, cabbage, spinach, brussel sprouts, and broccoli. Of these, broccoli will give you the most health promoting benefits. Broccoli contains Vitamin C, beta carotene, lutein, vitamin K, calcium, fiber, and folate. Here are some of the benefits of broccoli: It protects against cancer, boosts the immune system, lowers the incidence of cataracts, supports cardiovascular health, builds bones, and offers an incredibly high level of nutrition for a very low caloric count. Most of the nutrition is found in the florets.
Broccoli is a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables. It was originally found growing wild along the Mediterranean coast. Now, most of our broccoli is grown in California. The strong smell that broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables share comes from the sulfur compounds that protect the plant as well as you. The strong, sometimes bitter taste and smell of these vegetables protect them from insects and animals. You do not need to buy organic.
