Broccoli, a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, is native to the Mediterranean and prized for its dense, nutrient-packed florets. Its earthy flavour and firm texture make it ideal for steaming, roasting, or adding to stir-fries. High in vitamin C, broccoli supports immune function and promotes collagen production for healthy skin. It also provides sulforaphane, a powerful antioxidant that may support detoxification and help fight inflammation. Barry’s tips: Steam or roast broccoli for a tender, flavourful side dish, or toss it into salads and pasta for added crunch and nutrition. For a twist, try adding it to smoothies for a nutrient boost without compromising taste.
