Do you like broccoli? I do!!
- Broccoli is very good for you.
- In just 1/2 cup of broccoli, there is 21 mg (milligrams) of calcium.
- Choose bunches of broccoli that are dark green. Good color indicates high nutrient value.
- Florets that are bluish green, purplish, or dark green contain more vitamin C and beta-carotene than paler or yellowing ones.
- Choose bunches of broccoli with stalks that are very firm. Stalks that bend or seem rubbery are of poor quality.
- Avoid broccoli with open, flowering, discolored, or water-soaked bud clusters and tough, woody stems.
- Store broccoli unwashed, in an open plastic bag and place in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator.
- Broccoli is best if used within a day or two after purchasing.
