Azure Market Produce Broccoli, Organic

Description:     Broccoli's name is derived from a Latin word which means branch or arm, a reference to its tree-like shape which includes a compact head of florets attached by small stems to a larger stalk.  This vegetable is a complex of tastes and textures, ranging from soft and flowery (the florets) to fibrous and crunchy (the stem and stalk). Its color can range from deep sage to dark green to purplish-green, depending upon the variety.   Broccoli is rich in sulforaphane, an organosulfur compound and a powerful anti-oxidant with anti-cancer and detoxifying properties.  Broccoli has long been known for its role in stomach health, but now it is being understood for its benefit to the whole body- especially when eaten raw or gently steamed or cooked.  Include broccoli 3-5 days per week in your diet as a part of your optimum health regime!   Some noted health benefits of broccoli include: Anti-cancer properties, Detoxification/cleansing abilities, Stomach health, Cardio protection, Cataract prevention, Bone strength, Immune System booster.
