Broccoli Vitamin C Light Steam
Lightly steamed broccoli keeps vitamin C plus vitamin K1—tender-crisp florets beat overcooked mush and pair with oil or fish for fat-soluble uptake.
Broccoli vitamin C light steam preserves bright green florets and most ascorbic acid while also delivering vitamin K1 and sulforaphane-friendly crunch—two to four minutes until tender-crisp beats gray cafeteria mush. Roasting with olive oil trades some C for absorption of fat-soluble partners on the same fork.
A fist-sized floret portion fits dinner plate corners beside salmon or tofu. Raw broccoli slaw works for meal prep when teeth tolerate it.
