HEALTH & BENEFITS

Broccoli is a nutrient-dense vegetable that is packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It is a good source of vitamin C, folate, and potassium, which can help support heart health. Brown rice is a whole grain that is rich in fiber, magnesium, and other nutrients that can help with digestion and weight management. However, this recipe also contains processed cheese and cream of celery soup, which are both high in sodium and fat.
