Hi, welcome back to the kitchen. hope everyone's well today. So today we are going to be looking at broccoli, beautiful green, healthy broccoli. And we'll be getting into why is broccoli a superfood for per day say preventing cancer breast cancer. It's very good when you're recovering from breast cancer and more you're experiencing breast cancer. So why is broccoli important in all of this?

And also what is in broccoli? And a little bit about broccoli live and how best to eat it. And a little bit about broccoli sprouts which you've been you might have seen so apropos Why is broccoli a superfood when you're experiencing breast cancer and recovering from breast cancer? But so to have any oxidants and the antioxidants are sulforaphane and glucose and right now these are actually in the proper line and the antioxidant help build your healthy body tissue and healthy bone tissue. And also, so they're in Brooklyn and when you eat the broccoli, they turn into ISO sized cyanide and indoor. Now these are thought to have many anti cancer properties in.

So that's a really good reason to eat lots of broccoli. Now everything in moderation, but you can eat lots of breathalyze things, fruit and vegetables. Lots of it. And so, a little bit about broccoli is that's part of the Chris's cruciferous family, which is lucky leafy green so that she kale your cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy, mostly your green things and your green leafy things. So I'll put a list of those out for you today in the worksheet. And broccoli is very dense environment a k c I'm now the iron is mostly concentrated in the florets in the head of the broccoli.

And the vitamin C is mainly located in the stems of the Brooklyn, which is really interesting because you need your vitamin C to absorb iron. So often when if you have to take a vitamin C supplement, unique, sorry an iron supplement will need to take vitamin C for that iron to be absorbed in your body. Now same with the iron from food to be absorbed it needs certain other vitamins or minerals. In the case of proper light for the iron from the broccoli never be absorbed in a good vitamin C. Saini, the head of the broccoli and the stands is beautiful 16 we've got so much goodness in them. So we always cook them and eat them and sometimes just cook a cook a whole lot and eat it as it is. So, how to prepare it using the stem.

So what I often do, the children don't like the stem so much, but there's so much goodness in me. So what I do is I leave little bits of STEM on and the rest, I just finally chop, chop the skin and put it in a stir fry and then steamed broccoli, I lightly input that through the stir fry as well. So don't waste the stems is so much good nutrition in there. And so otherwise you can pair it can bake Brock ally, steam it, put it in stir fries, there's so many things you can do different recipes. And the other thing that's really come come to the attention of researchers at the moment this brutalize spread Now this is when you print plants, you broke the law and your little it starts to spread and it gets to about that high and some little white stem with little green, tiny little leaves on the top and actually sprouts.

Now they're meant to be very, very high concentrated in your anti cancer properties in your ISO phi sine x in in dogs. So the the actual breathalyze sprout, I meant to be really jam packed full of those. So that'd be really good to have. So you can have them by the hand or you can have them on sandwiches in salads, you can eat as much of them as you like raw. They're really, really good for you. Okay, so that's my rave on broccoli today.

So go cook some broccoli and enjoy it. Thanks everyone. Bye for now.
