Why it's important to never discard broccoli stems
Broccoli stems provide health benefits that are just as significant as the florets due to their richness in vital minerals.
Broccoli's thick stems are much too frequently thrown away as an ugly leftover that ends up in the garbage or compost. However, since broccoli stems are not only edible but also a rich source of essential elements that can improve your diet overall, this technique is extremely wasteful.
"The next time you're eating broccoli, consider eating the stem as well as the floret. While the floret boasts high levels of vitamin A, the stem contains just as many other nutrients," says content creator and medical expert Dr. Karan Rajan. Vitamins C, E, K, potassium, magnesium, iron, folate, zinc, and additional insoluble fibers can all help you meet your recommended daily intake of fiber.
