About Broccoli

Broccoli is the main ingredient of this recipe as it´s one of the stars of alkalinity. It´s part of the cruciferous family, broccoli is packed with minerals and vitamins, notably high in iron and phytonutrients. It’s also rich in vitamins A, C, E, calcium, folic acid, and potassium.    It has phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals that gives it digestive, anti-anemic, detox and immune-boosting qualities among other benefits.

How to Choose the perfect Broccoli:

When buying broccoli choose the one that is firm with a vibrant green color. One of the first signs of degradation or chlorophyll loss is when the vegetable starts to yellow.
