I think it was a good move as according to this website, Tender-stem is the KING on broccoli: https://www.tenderstem.co.uk/ten-reasons.php

In regards to your article on Broccoli maybe it might be of benefit to your readers if you also explained about another benefit from Broccoli being Indole 3 Caribinol and DIM. Especially for your male readers who are a little older and how both relate to helping with Estrogen.

Cheers

I don’t do incredibly well on low carb diets from a digestive perspective, and I tried to solve it with broccoli, but it kind of made the situation worse.
If somebody has digestive issues on a low carb diet, I recommend veggies with a bit higher content of SOLUBLE fiber which can be fermented by gut bacteria.
These veggies are a bit higher in carbs (like carrots) but they are still applicable in a pretty low carb diet plan:)

In the US they measure other things and what’s left is taken as carbs. Also ‘total carbs’ in the US includes fiber, which you need to subtract for net carbs.

about.com says 5.6g per 78g(1 cup)
https://caloriecount.about.com/calories-broccoli-i11091?size=5

5.8g per cup
https://www.carbs-information.com/carb-vegetables/carbs-in-broccoli.htm

7.2g per 100g
https://www.carb-counter.org/nutrition/11091

1.1g per 100g
https://www.low-carbdiet.co.uk

who’s right?

Why do the carb levels drop once the veg is cooked? Is this acurate?

Thanks as always for you help warm regards Andrics

I never knew that broccoli can provide much benefits when consumes as a part of one’s dietary intake. But I guess green leafy veggies will definitely give a lot of nutrients especially when one is dieting. I also recommend some interesting articles about dieting in this site https://www.completedietinfo.com/ it might as well help those who are concerned of their increasing weights.

The fact that I cook at a Japanese restaurant doesn’t help! I WILL try the cauliflower, though!

I’m probably one of the few people that actually misses broccoli.

I’ve heard this before and there is a ‘raw food’ movement out there who suggest we should eat everything raw.
I see no reason why steamed broccoli would be less good for you. I can see why boiling it would lose some goodness but steaming is fine. I couldn’t eat it raw anyway.

Cheers,
Mark

Get some cauliflower and grate it like you would cheese. Heat a skillet and through in these shavings until lightly browned, really lovely taste and an great substitute for rice.

@ enon. Thanks for that, one more reason reason to enjoy your broccoli!

I like to dip broccoli in fat free ranch and eat it raw.

It is thought that this is the case and so it’s worth mentioning.
I know what you mean however. Words like ‘may’ or phrases like ‘is associated with’ or ‘is believed to..’ prove nothing and are often used to make an argument seem correct when there is no evidence. I disagree with that strongly.
It’s like the lipid hypothesis for explaining heart disease.
Thanks Steve.
