About Broccoli Green

This cool-season crop grows best when daytime temperatures are in the 60Â°F. Grow in both spring and fall, but avoid mid-summer crops as hot weather can cause premature bolting. Like spinach, can be grown in the spring or fall.

In fact, you may be able to get a continual harvest throughout both seasons if you time planting correctly. A member of the cabbage family, broccoli is rich in vitamins.

Broccoli Green uses

Medicinal Use:

Cancer Prevention - Broccoli contains glucoraphanin, which the body processes into the anti-cancer compound sulforaphane
It also contains indole-3-carbinol, a powerful antioxidant compound and anti-carcinogen found to not only hinder the growth of breast, cervical and prostate cancer, but also boosts liver function
Broccoli shares these cancer fighting, immune boosting properties with other cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage
Cholesterol Reduction Like many whole foods, broccoli is packed with soluble fibre that draws cholesterol out of your body
Reducing Allergy Reaction and Inflammation
Powerful Antioxidant - Of all the cruciferous vegetables, broccoli stands out as the most concentrated source of vitamin C, plus the flavonoids necessary for vitamin C to recycle effectively
Also concentrated in broccoli are the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and beta-carotene, other powerful antioxidants
Bone Health - Broccoli contains high levels of both calcium and vitamin K, both of which are important for bone health and prevention of osteoporosis
Heart Health - The anti-inflammatory properties of sulforaphane, one of the isothiocyanates (ITCs) in broccoli, may be able to prevent (or even reverse) some of the damage to blood vessel linings that can be caused by inflammation due to chronic blood sugar problems
Detoxification -Glucoraphanin, gluconasturtiin and glucobrassicin are special phytonutrients that support all steps in the bodyâ€™s detox process, including activation, neutralization
Broccoli also contains isothiocyanates (which you read about in inflammation) which help control the detox process at a genetic level
Diet Aid - Broccoli is a smart curb and is high in fibre, which aids in digestion, prevents constipation, maintains low blood sugar, and curbs overeating
Furthermore, a cup of broccoli has as much protein as a cup of rice or corn with half the calories
Alkalises Your Body - Like many vegetables, broccoli helps keep your whole body less acidic, which has a host of health benefits
Note: Use only after consulting the specialist

Culinary Use:

Broccoli can be steamed or sauteed and served by itself or with other vegetables
It should be steamed before sauteing or stir-frying
Raw broccoli is very popular when accompanied by a dipping sauce, and is often served with other raw vegetables
Broccoli rosettes can be cut from the stems and then the rosette and the cut stems can be cooked separately and served together
Steamed broccoli with butter, or sauteed broccoli in olive oil with garlic and finished with a squeeze of lemon are two of the more common ways of serving broccoli, and each is a great base from which many variations can be made
The stalks are just as delicious as the flowers, so try chopping them into 1/4" pieces with your flowers
