Tag: Broccoli preparation

According to USDA data, 150 grams (approximately one cup) of boiled, drained broccoli contains a surprisingly low number of calories, typically around 53 to 55 calories. This makes it an excellent choice for a healthy, low-calorie meal addition, packed with essential nutrients.

According to a study published in the *Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry*, boiling broccoli can reduce its sulforaphane content by more than 50%. But this doesn't tell the whole story when comparing cooked vs. raw broccoli. The best method depends on which nutrients you want to maximize, your digestive health, and your personal taste.
