Nutrient-dense broccoli crowns deliver sulforaphane, a potent compound with documented anti-inflammatory and detoxification properties. Rich in vitamin C, K, and folate, these florets support immune function and bone health. The stalks contain comparable nutrition to the heads—don't discard them. Steam lightly to preserve heat-sensitive nutrients, or consume raw for maximum enzyme activity. Select deep green crowns with tight buds and firm stems. Refrigerate in a breathable container for 4-5 days to maintain peak quality and bioavailability.
