What’s In Your Market Share This Week?
Broccoli has been in the market share recently. Did you know that florets on the broccoli plant are flowers? The leaves and stalks of broccoli can also be eaten and they’re very nutrient dense.
Broccoli can be enjoyed raw and cooked. A quick steam is the best cooking method to keep most of the nutrients.
Raw broccoli contains nearly 90% water and is very low in calories. Contains a variety of vitamins and minerals including:
- Vitamin C: important for immune function
- Vitamin K: helps promote bone health
- Folate: needed for normal tissue growth and cell function
- Iron: transports oxygen in red blood cells
- Potassium: helps with blood pressure control
