“Broccoli holds its crunch after a quick blanch, bringing a vivid green to the winter table.”

A fiber-rich vegetable, high in vitamin C, vitamin K and folate. Also contains small amounts of beta-carotene and vitamin B1.

Store unwashed in an open bag in the fridge; freshest within a few days.

Choose florets that are dark green and tight; avoid ones that have begun to yellow or loosen.

Eat broccoli with a little olive oil — vitamin K is fat-soluble, so pairing it with some fat helps absorption.
