| Platinum Member | Brocolli is as excellent addition to salads. Broccoli is high in vitamin C and soluble fiber and contains multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties including diindolylmethane and selenium. The 3,3'-Diindolylmethane found in broccoli is a potent modulator of the innate immune response system with anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-cancer activity. Broccoli also contains the compound glucoraphanin, which can be processed into an anticancer compound sulforaphane, though the benefits of broccoli are greatly reduced if the vegetable is boiled more than ten minutes. A high intake of broccoli has been found to reduce the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. Broccoli leaf is also edible and contains far more betacarotene than the florets. Source: Broccoli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although Brocolli could be eaten raw, it is preferred in boiled form more. The problem is that if you boil brocolli, it will become very pale green in colour and then it looses it aesthetic charm. Also boiling for long time makes it loose its Vitamin values. Also full boiled brocolli will be very soft and not enjoyable. It will also loose it small flavour. So here is a tip to prepare Brocolli.

Rep Power: 2 | The best thing to do with brocolli is steam it. It reatins more of it's vitamins and minerals than if you were to boil it and it stays greener too. |

| Platinum Member | If you steam brocolli you will get somewhat similar results - brocolli will loose its bright green colour and look pale - but to a smaller extent. Still colour will be lost and that kills the joy. |
