Did you know? The word broccoli comes from the Italian plural of broccolo, which means “the flowering crest of a cabbage,” and is the diminutive form of brocco, meaning “small nail” or “sprout.” Broccoli is a cook’s friend — raw, boiled, steamed, pureed in soups. You name it!
Broccoli, according to Harvard Medical School, is a Superfood: high in vitamin C, fiber, calcium, and folate; as well as “…sulforaphane and isothiocyanates, which are believed to have cancer-fighting capabilities.”
