I know that when I was a child my mother forced me to eat broccoli. And other raw vegetables. I hated all of them. I never liked vegetables and raw food. But now I want to eat them. Broccoli has so many health benefits. It improves immunity, bone health, it treats anemia, improves digestive health.
It's high in many nutrients and it contains vitamin C, beta-carotene, selenium, copper, zinc, and phosphorus. It also contains antioxidants.

When I was old enough to walk, I would go out to the garden and chew on the broccoli plants and whatever was living in them (caterpillars, spiders, beetles, any sort of insect life). So I was getting a lot of the benefits and protein as well!

I grew up with this vegetable called Bittermelon, This vegetable tasted like medicine. It is super bitter.
so the first time I had broccoli I loved it because in Asia, we dont steam them. We sautee them in shrimp, beef and oyster sauce.

I do like broccoli, but not when it's overcooked to the point of mush.

I just love broccoli and can eat it as a snack, I don't even care what the health benefits are even though I know they are good for you. I just love it and I am the only one in the family that do.
