To Get the Health Benefits of Broccoli:
Is It Best Eaten Raw or Cooked?
A 2008 report by the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry found that boiling and steaming was best for preserving broccoli’s antioxidant status, but that cooking it can destroy vitamin C.
Another piece of research, however, demonstrated that raw broccoli was best when it comes to preserving the levels of sulforaphane.
In short, whether you eat broccoli raw or cooked, it is a valuable addition to a balanced diet.

Dietary fibers helps a lot in preventing colon cancer since they really clean the lining of the intestines. The formation of polyps and tumors are reduced if the intestinal linings are clean.
I have a bunch of asparagus on hand as well as cooked rice. Lightly steamed asparagus should be a fine substitute for broccoli. I never seem to follow recipes…..
Yes Afke, that sounds great! I am like you I do not follow recipes…..only make them for others. 🙂
