Broccoli is a true superfood as it is a great source of vitamin C and also contains beta-carotene, folic acid, iron, calcium and potassium. Vitamin C is particularly vulnerable during storage and cooking, so it's best to buy only as much broccoli as you can use immediately or the nutrient levels will decline.
