Broccoli is available all year. To pick the best quality
broccoli, look for light green stalks that are approximately
5 inches long. Look closely at the little buds. They should
be compact and greenish-purple in color. Broccoli is a member
of the cabbage family. It is the most nutritious vegetable
in the world. Broccoli contains the same amount of calcium
as milk and has been proven to help prevent cancer. To maximize
the nutritious value do not overcook your broccoli. The
high heat will force some of the nutrients out of the vegetable.
