HEALTH & BENEFITS

Broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
It is especially high in vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate, which are important for supporting immune function, bone health, and cell growth and development.
Broccoli also contains antioxidants, such as carotenoids and flavonoids, which can help protect against oxidative stress and chronic diseases, such as cancer and heart disease.
