HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS
Though protein may not be the first nutrient that comes to mind when preparing a veggie-packed, raw, broccoli salad, this dish is packed with it!
Broccoli has both vitamin A and vitamin K, which strengthen bothย bones and the immune system, and it’s a great source of vitamin D, a common nutrient deficiency.ย
The most nutritious way to eat broccoli is steamed –ย whenย broccoli is steamed it releases extra compounds and nutritive qualities – but raw is a great alternative,ย especially for people with high cholesterol.
