Broccoli
is loaded with vitamin C, and is high in dietary fiber. If you could only eat
one vegetable broccoli would be a good choice, because of its nutritional
value. Broccoli is high in potassium which can help to normalize your blood
pressure. Pick broccoli before heads loosen up. Broccoli requires plenty of
fertilizer to give it a good start, and so it will produce a large head. You
can get a good crop of broccoli by doing a fall planting, because the cool
weather will give it an extra sweet flavor. Steaming and stir frying are two
good ways of cooking so it doesn’t lose its nutritional value. Broccoli can
also be eaten raw such as using it in salads or dips.
