Broccoli good points:<br />rich in Vitamin C.<br />anti-cancer element.<br />reduces prostate cancer risk.<br />source of calcium.<br /><br />However wikipedia states that Broccoli when boiled may loose half its nutritious value. <br /><br />Whfoods has however said that the anti-cancer activity is at its best if you cut the florets and stems thinner and let it sit 5-10 mins before cooking. Lightly steamed /cooked broccoli will still retain its anti-cancer power as well as its Vitamin C and makes it easier to digest.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/373848790645417855-940695949146604100?l=inquisitiveaboutfoodnhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>InqFinancenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373848790645417855.post-12108037572780821922007-12-29T09:50:00.000-08:002007-12-29T09:52:48.468-08:00A simple soup thats really good for you and takes less time to cook.<br /><br />Ingredients<br />Broccoli - 1 cup of florets<br />Milk - 2% half a cup<br />Salt - a few pinches<br />Black pepper to taste<br /><br />1.

I had some leftover rice from last day and some broccoli as well.<br /><br />Ingredients: Egg<br />Onion (finely or not so finely chopped depending on mood)<br />Green chilly: sliced<br />Broccoli: Washed and thin sliced. <br /><br />As usual with any omelet beat all the ingredients together. <br />Once oil is heated on the frying pan spread the omelet as usual.<br />Heat rice in the remainder area of the pan. <br />When one side of omelet is done roll over and insert the rice in it. <br />Flip over and Omrice is done !! <br />Easy?<br /><br />My aim in the next few weeks (hopefully) is to come up with studying the nutrition contents of the same.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/373848790645417855-6686973542606807273?l=inquisitiveaboutfoodnhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>InqFinancenoreply@blogger.com1
