A
A
Broccoli
is,
in
fact
known
to
be
a
power
food,
meaning
it
really
brings
a
pack
for
its
nutritional
punch.
It's
known
for
its
anti-inflammation
properties,
high
vitamin
levels,
and
the
list
goes
on.
What's
the
problem
with
broccoli?
Well,
it
just
doesn't
taste
great
by
itself,
so
it
needs
a
little
help
and
a
little
help
can
go
a
long
way
in
getting
this
well-known
power
food.
On
our
plates
more
frequently
year-round.
A
Today,
we
are
going
to
learn
about
this
cruciferous
king
of
veggies
in
ways
no
man
or
woman
have
ever
done
before
we're
journeying
from
seed
to
plate,
broccoli,
we're
learning
how
to
grow
it,
how
to
cook
it
tools.
You
need
along
the
way
and
it's
health
benefits
and
we're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
fun
doing
it
so
stay
tuned.
This
is
health,
land,
kitchen,
oh
sweet.
C
Particularly
for
an
organic
gardener,
it's
an
excellent
crop.
Broccoli
is
a
cold
weather
crop
which
means
that
here
in
north
carolina
we
can
get
a
spring
planting
and
a
fall
planting,
particularly
for
an
organic
gardener.
There
are
three
cultivars
or
varieties
that
are
highly
recommended.
One
is
pacman
which
virginia
tech
recommends
as
the
most
pest
resistant
arcadia.
C
This
is
a
heat
and
drought,
tolerant
plant
and
it's
great
for
no-till,
so
for
a
home
gardener
who
wants
just
a
few
plants
that
would
be
ideal
and
everybody's
fall.
Favorite
is
called
premium
crop.
This
one
grows
particularly
well
in
north
carolina
and
is
resistant
to
soft
rot,
and
that
brings
me
to
one
final
hike
when
you
harvest
you
want
to
do
it
early
in
the
morning.
Otherwise
the
heat
will
wilt
the
heads
as
soon
as
you
cut
them.
So
in
north
carolina
we
can
grow
broccoli
with
the
best
of
them.
Oh.
C
A
Now,
when
you're
about
to
cook
well,
anything
you
want
to
have
an
idea
of
the
end
result
that
you're
going
for
the
method
in
which
you're
traveling
and
a
reminder
to
have
some
fun
along
the
way.
The
exciting
thing
about
cooking
is
there's
lots
and
lots
of
experimenting
to
be
had.
One
doesn't
always
need
all
the
answers.
In
the
beginning
of
a
culinary
adventure,
mysteries
unfold
creations
are
made
and
well
yes,
sometimes
things
can
go
very
very
badly,
but
the
key
is
to
learn
from
those
successes
and
mistakes
for
the
next
time.
A
A
A
Broccoli
as
a
side
dish
can
be
prepared
in
several
ways.
Steaming
can
be
made
fun
with
individual
steamers
side
sauce
for
dipping
a
simple
saute
or
a
creamy
casserole
as
the
main
dish
it
does
best
supporting
the
protein
star,
the
show
say,
adding
to
a
lasagna
a
pasta
or
you
can
sneak
it
in
your
meatloaf.
Broccoli
has
sneakable
qualities
and,
being
it's
packed
with
vitamin
c,
well
worth
the
extra
effort.
Now,
if
I
could
only
find
a
little
individual
steamer.
A
D
D
A
E
I
don't
know
stacy,
I
don't
hear
a
heartbeat.
I
think
this
one's
done
hello
there,
my
name's
dr
mike,
and
today
I'm
going
to
talk
about
one
of
my
favorite
vegetables,
broccoli,
and
why
it's
so
important
for
your
health
when
people
think
about
citrus
fruit
like
say
this
orange,
what
vitamin
do
they
usually
think
of
you
got
it
vitamin
c?
Well,
guess
what
this
one
single
serving
of
broccoli
actually
has
more
vitamin
c
than
this
orange,
and
it
has
a
lot
more
to
offer
your
body
as
well.
E
In
addition
to
vitamin
c,
broccoli
is
an
excellent
source
of
vitamin
k,
folic
acid
and
chromium
and
a
very
good
source
of
vitamins,
a
b
and
e
potassium
phosphorus
and
fiber
and
a
host
of
other
micronutrients.
But
the
really
cool
thing
about
broccoli
is
that
all
of
these
great
nutrients
come
in
a
really
low
package.
In
fact,
the
same
one
cup
serving
of
broccoli
has
only
55
calories,
a
fraction
of
your
daily
intake,
believe
it
or
not.
There
have
been
more
than
300
scientific
studies
on
broccoli
and
its
powerful
impact
on
cancer.
E
Eating
broccoli
regularly
reduces
our
risk
of
cancer
of
the
breast,
the
prostate
bladder
ovary
and
even
colon
cancer.
There
are
also
several
phytonutrients
in
broccoli
that
help
protect
our
stomachs
and
our
intestines
from
overgrowth
of
bacteria
as
a
family
doc.
I
see
lots
of
kids
in
the
office
and
one
of
the
first
questions
I
ask
my
patients
at
their
wellness
exams
is
what
their
favorite
vegetable
is.
E
Well
guess
what
for
reasons
that
I
cannot
understand,
broccoli's
at
the
bottom
of
the
list,
what
a
shame
prepared
in
the
right
way
broccoli
can
be
enjoyed
several
times
a
week
by
your
kids.
The
florets
of
broccoli
look
like
little
trees
and
the
stalks
are
fun
and
crunchy
to
eat
and
the
taste
is
really
mild.
However,
it's
prepared,
so
parents,
if
your
kids
have
rejected
broccoli
in
the
past,
give
it
a
try.
You
may
be
surprised
by
their
reaction.
A
Recipes
recipes
recipes
which
one
to
choose
from
well
hey.
What
am
I
in
the
mood
for
something
creamy,
crunchy
citrusy,
hearty
oh
hi,
again,
just
thinking
about
tonight's
main
entree
broccoli
can
lend
its
hand
or
stock
to
becoming
a
wonderful
side
dish
on
its
own
there's
steamed
broccoli
with
dipping
sauce,
garlic,
pepper,
broccoli,
saute,
a
crudite
with
dip.
Crudite
is
just
a
fancy
french
word
for
a
raw
vegetable
snack
with
a
dip,
but
what
about
tonight's
main
entree?
A
F
Casseroles
consist
of
pieces
of
meat,
whatever
your
choice,
chosen,
chopped
vegetables
and
some
kind
of
vanilla.
That's
an
ingredient
that
horses
together,
because
the
filling
will
often
have
the
wet
texture,
a
contrast,
crunchy
a
creamy
topping,
gives
us
this
character,
meaning
there's
different
things
going
on.
A
Casseroles
are
cooked
in
the
oven
and
give
the
wah
in
the
one
pot
wonder
I'm
punny
there's
a
lot
of
fancy
terms
for
the
types
of
casseroles
out
there,
but
the
most
important
thing
to
remember
is
that
it's
a
really
hearty
healthy
dish.
You
can
put
a
lot
of
ingredients
into
and
feed
a
lot
of
folks
on
a
budget.
A
A
So
to
get
our
helpful
broccoli
casserole
started
we're
going
to
get
our
pan
nice
and
hot
and
we're
going
to
add
some
coconut
oil
which
holds
a
higher
heat
resistance.
So
it
keeps
its
nutritional
value
as
opposed
to
oils
that
can
burn
really
easily
into
that.
We're
going
to
add
some
onions,
some
carrot
and
a
little
pinch
of
salt.
A
little
pinch
of
salt
is
gonna,
help
some
of
the
flavor
reduce
down
and
get
some
of
the
water
out
of
our
ingredients.
A
Now
I'm
gonna
let
it
mix
together.
Our
ingredients
are
going
to
come
together
real
nicely
now.
What
we
need
next
is
some
protein.
I've
chosen,
quinoa
quinoa
is
a
grain.
It
has
protein,
it's
nice
and
light
and
healthy
and
low
in
calories.
You
can
do
whatever
you
want.
You
can
add
chicken
beef,
whatever
floats
your
boat,
so
you
put
our
cooked
quinoa
on
in
there
and
it's
going
to
give
it
some
great
texture
as
well.
A
A
A
little
bit
of
salt
and
pepper
and
one
more
component,
that's
really
important.
In
keeping
your
casserole,
nice
and
tight
is
a
binding
agent.
I've
got
some
eggs.
The
great
thing
about
eggs
is
that
they're
going
to
allow
the
casserole
to
fluff
up
when
it's
in
the
oven
and
hold
a
really
nice
firm
consistency.
A
But
you
don't
want
to
put
your
eggs
in
there
when
your
ingredients
are
really
hot
because
it's
going
to
start
to
scramble.
So
you
mix
that
in
there
when
they're,
relatively
low
temperature
and
next
up
we're
just
going
to
put
it
right
into
our
casserole
dish
that
I've
got
seated
on
the
left
here
and
there
it
goes.
A
A
A
A
Nothing
more
enjoyable
than
a
delicious
nourishing
meal
at
the
end
of
the
day,
with
the
folks
that
you
care
about
the
satisfaction,
knowing
that
your
time
and
energy
has
made
a
difference
in
their
lives.
Well,
it
is
just
unbeatable.
Today
we
went
on
a
journey
with
the
cruciferous
king
of
vegetables.
We
discovered
how
to
go
from
seed
to
plate
and
all
the
steps
in
between
broccoli.
