Enjoy this quick, easy recipe Broccollini Fusilli. Broccolli is a power vegetable with a wealth of nutrients and health benefits. Broccoli is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A (mostly as beta-carotene), folic acid, and calcium. Broccoli offers a great balance of fiber with half of its fiber being insoluble and half soluble.
As a cruciferous vegetable, broccoli naturally contains two important phytochemicals-indoles and isothiocyanates. These phytochemicals have shown to increase the activity of a group of enzymes in our bodies that combat cancer.
