Broccoli is a vibrant and nutritious vegetable. It is renowned for its distinctive appearance, with its dense cluster of dark green florets on the head and sturdy stalk. Broccoli is a versatile addition to any meal and is low in calories but high in nutrient content. This cruciferous vegetable is packed with many nutritious vitamins, including vitamin C, folate, fibre, and vitamin E. Locally grown broccoli is available from late-July to mid-November. From steaming and sauteing to roasting or enjoying raw in salads, broccoli provides a delightful crunch and a slightly bitter taste to any dish.
