Tag: Broccoli cooking methods

Cooked broccoli is an incredibly low-calorie, high-volume food, with one cup of boiled broccoli containing approximately 55 calories. This makes it an excellent choice for weight management, allowing you to fill up on a nutrient-dense vegetable without a high caloric cost.

According to some studies, boiling vegetables can cause a significant loss of water-soluble vitamins, with some losing over 50%. This raises a key question for home cooks: does blanching broccoli destroy nutrients, or is it a quick and effective way to prepare this superfood without compromising its nutritional profile?
