Broccoli

Broccoli is part of the Brassicaceae family (formerly Crucifère). It is a vegetable with many advantages for our health, but also for that of baby! It is easy to cook, and we can find it all year round on our stalls! It is therefore one of the vegetables not to forget when baby begins the food diversification led by the child.

The broccoli with firm stems and very green flowers are the best! You can keep it 4 to 5 days in your refrigerator.

Broccoli has an excellent reputation for its nutrition profile! Its micronutrient richness is inversely proportional to its low energy value. That is to say, it is as poor in calories as it is rich in vitamins (C, K, B9, E, A), minerals (calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium), trace elements (zinc, manganese, copper, nickel, fluorine, cobalt, iodine, selenium) and antioxidants. It brings for example twice as much vitamin C as orange. In short, a real nutritional bomb!
