I’ve really been loving my broccoli this week! Bought from my local organic store – I just can’t seem to get enough. I’ve been lightly steaming it & adding it to my salads for lunch, with a pinch of sea salt over the top. I’ve also enjoyed it as a quick dinner with some fresh kale roasted in the oven with coconut oil, or as a ‘dipper’ into some homemade basil and macadamia nut pesto.Broccoli deserves some limelight. It is such an amazing vegetable…it is considered a superfood! Here is a list of some of the many benefits of broccoli:
from the mustard family which creates sulfur in the body helping to cleanse the tissues
this sulfur content also improves our complexion
boosts the immune system
cancer prevention tool
supports lung health
supports eye health
squashes colon cancer
strengthens bones
balances blood pressure
is an alkaline vegetable
contains an huge amount of antioxidants…therefore improving the health of our cells
Who wouldn’t want some?!
I dare you to be creative with this amazing superfood this weekend!
