Now, why broccoli? Because why not?
Broccoli is a highly nutritious vegetable known for its impressive array of essential nutrients.
It is low in calories and carbohydrates while being rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin K.
Additionally, broccoli provides minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus.
Its high fiber content aids in digestion and promotes satiety.
Broccoli is also packed with antioxidants, such as glucoraphanin and sulforaphane, which protect against oxidative stress.
Incorporating broccoli into your diet allows you to enjoy the benefits of these nutrients, including immune support, bone health, and potential anti-cancer properties.
It’s filling without the carbs.
