3. Broccoli
Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable and a member of the cabbage family. It’s also low in calories, which makes it great for weight loss. Broccoli contains many vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin K, folate (folic acid), potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.
Broccoli has plenty of fiber too, which helps to lower cholesterol levels while keeping you feeling full for longer periods of time.
One way to enjoy broccoli is to steam it. You can add some grated cheese or melted butter for a delicious side dish, or you can use it as a base for your main course.
Broccoli can also be eaten raw and mixed with other vegetables like carrots or cabbage for a crunchy salad. You can also mix the raw broccoli with mayonnaise and lemon juice for a tasty treat!
