Broccoli is usually available all through the year. It can be bought for a reasonable price between October and May. The best part is that one cup of chopped broccoli contains more than the Vitamin C needed by our bodies every day, along with Vitamin A and folacin.
The florets contain a larger amount of these vitamins than the stalks. Always check that you buy fresh dark green, purplish or bluish green broccoli and not the yellow florets. Broccoli consists of phytochemicals such as sulforaphane that prevent cancer.
So shop for broccoli the next time you visit the super store!
