Broccoli: The appeal of nutritious and versatile vegetables

Broccoli is a vegetable made from cabbage, and is said to be the prototype of cauliflower. Its popularity in Japan was relatively new in the 1960s, and its high nutritional value and ease of cooking make it particularly popular among younger generations. It is also known as an alternative to cauliflower.

Broccoli season and how to choose

Broccoli is available all year round, but the flavors are especially good from autumn to winter and the quality is stable. When choosing, choose one with a uniform, dark green color and dense flower buds. Avoid flowers, and even if they are reddish in the cold, it will not affect the taste.

Nutritious Broccoli

Broccoli is a green and yellow vegetable rich in carotene, vitamin C, and other nutrients such as potassium and phosphorus. These nutrients are essential elements for maintaining health, and are vegetables that you should actively incorporate into your daily diet.
