"BEEF BROCCOLI" Color Challenge : Thursday Green

in #colorchallenge7 years ago (edited)

In all of the meat available in the market, I'd prefer beef. This is my own version of beef broccoli. What I like most in broccoli is it's nutritional content which is high in fiber, very high in vitamin C and has potassium, B6 and vitamin A.

Broccoli has an impressive nutritional profile. It is "high in fiber, very high in vitamin C and has potassium, B6 and vitamin A," raved Victoria Jarzabkowski, a nutritionist with the Fitness Institute of Texas at the University of Texas at Austin. "For a nonstarchy vegetable, it has a good amount of protein."

Broccoli is also packed with phytochemicals and antioxidants. Phytochemicals are chemicals in plants that are responsible for color, smell and flavor. Research shows that they have numerous healthful benefits, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research. Phytochemicals in broccoli are good for the immune system. They include glucobrassicin; carotenoids, such as zeaxanthin and beta-carotene; and kaempferol, a flavonoid. source
