It makes sense that broccoli is celebrated. “Let thy food be thy medicine,” said Hippocrates.
As part of the brassica family, broccoli lowers the amount of cholesterol, reduces the risk of heart disease, benefits eye health, supports hormonal balance and the immune system. Considered a high fibre food, broccoli contains detox antioxidants, but also sulforaphane, which enhances detoxification of airborne toxins, reducing cancer risk. Luckily lots of children do like it. Use these books to remind them that broccoli is fun!
