Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head is eaten as a vegetable. Broccoli is often boiled or steamed but may be eaten raw. Broccoli is classified in the Italica cultivar group of the species Brassica oleracea. Broccoli has large flower heads, usually green in color, arranged in a tree-like structure branching out from a thick, edible stalk. The mass of flower heads is surrounded by leaves. Since the time of the Roman Empire, broccoli has been considered a uniquely valuable food among Italians. Broccoli was brought to England from Antwerp in the mid-18th century by Peter Scheemakers. Broccoli was first introduced to the United States by Southern Italian immigrants but did not become widely popular until the 1920s.
Its nutrients can be found in concentrated form in dried broccoli powder. The powder is rich in vitamin K and contains folic acid, potassium, and calcium. It also contains the carotenoid lutein (8.62 mg per 100 g, 1.03 mg per 12 g), a phytochemical compound. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Among other things, potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. Calcium contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, whereas folic acid contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. The powder is therefore ideal for enriching and enhancing foods and drinks with the nutrients listed above.
