Hi len, it's me again. I hope it's okay if I link a recipe hub to this so reader can appreciate that broccoli is so good for you!
It's always recommended by the dietician to have broccoli at any time of the day be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. Broccoli is used as a remedy for high blood pressure mostly because of the vitamin C it contains (even more so than an orange).

It’s not every day that a person actually reads about a vegetable that is so “common” yet has so many the wonderful health benefits. When I was a child I remember my Mom saying that we should have plenty of green vegetables if we want to grow up healthy. I guess Mom knew something after all! Thank you for confirming my Mother’s claim about the many health benefits of broccoli.
