When it comes to nutrition alone, there is no question that broccoli is one of the foods everyone should be eating more often.  A member of the cabbage family, broccoli can be served a number of ways, the most common being boiling, steaming, or serving it raw.  It is very low in calories, with only 34 calories per 3.5 ounces and high in several vitamins and minerals that are necessary for good health.  It is high in Vitamin C, full of dietary fiber, and packed with anti-cancer anti-oxidants.  But it can be difficult to get more of this nutritious vegetable on your family’s plates because after awhile broccoli that is steamed, boiled, or served raw can get a little boring.   Make March broccoli month and take a few minutes to look for creative ways to get more broccoli into your meal plans for this month.
