About Broccoli, raw
Raw broccoli is a reliably nutritious choice: meaningful protein for a vegetable, solid fiber, very low fat, and a wide range of vitamins without any processing involved. The crunchy florets and stems hold up well raw in salads or with dips. Cooking it briefly is fine, but raw broccoli retains more of its sulfur compounds. It's not a miracle food, but as daily vegetables go, it earns its reputation.
