About Broccoli, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea) is a green vegetable in the cabbage family, prized for its tree-like clusters of tightly budded florets and crisp, edible stalks. A cruciferous vegetable closely related to cauliflower, kale, and Brussels sprouts, it is among the most nutrient-dense foods you can put on a plate, an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and fiber, along with sulforaphane and other beneficial plant compounds, all for very few calories.

Broccoli has a mild, slightly grassy flavor that grows sweeter and nuttier when roasted until the edges crisp. It is delicious steamed, stir-fried, roasted, blanched for salads, or eaten raw with dip, and the stems are just as usable as the florets once the tough outer layer is peeled. Quick cooking keeps its bright color, crunch, and nutrients intact, while overcooking dulls both flavor and hue. Choose firm heads with tight, deep-green or purple-tinged buds and no yellowing, and store broccoli unwashed in the refrigerator, using it within a few days.
