Broccoli stems03/11/2005 |
Does the stem of broccoli have the same nutritient content as the florrets for those people who prefer to eat only the stems?
Thanks for your question. The stems of broccoli are a good source of insoluble fiber, but do not have the same beta-carotene, potassium or vitamin C content of the florets.
