Oh, that’s why Michael Jackson ate so much of it.
Broccoli: Providing natural gas efficiently.
I like broccoli as a side dish. It goes well with a nice hunk of grilled meat.
I LOVE broccoli!
Is sulforaphane related to propane?
I’ve read that there’s been an “abnormality” (my word)discovered in the taste buds that causes a person to love (or hate..can’t recall which) broccoli.My Dad hated it and almost made it to 89.I love it...so we’ll see what happens when I approach 89.
He’s still alive at the age of 84, I doubt he has anything to regret. I know people who didn’t live to see their 80s, including my father in law and mother.
There’s a lady I know
If I didn’t know her
She’d be the lady I didn’t know.

Broccoli and all the cruciferous veggies (cabbage, brussell sprouts, kale) are all very good for you.
But having read quite a few articles and abstracts about nutrition, there is a vegetable that shows up over and over at the top of various lists.
It’s got one of the highest superfood ratings there is.
Red bell peppers!
ROTFLMAO the guy is 80+ and jumping out of airplanes. don't think not eating broccoli is bothering him at all.
I Juice with broccoli on a regular basis and have become a fan of it.

Vile, wretched weed.
George Bush made it to 84, jumping out of planes, without broccoli. Not the greatest example IMO.
“Sulforaphane is an anticancer, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial compound that can be obtained by eating cruciferous vegetables such as brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, bok choy, kale, collards, broccoli sprouts, chinese broccoli, broccoli raab, kohlrabi, mustard, turnip, radish, arugula, and watercress.
“The enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin (a glucosinolate) into sulforaphane upon damage to the plant (such as from chewing). The young sprouts of broccoli and cauliflower are particularly rich in glucoraphanin.”
Old news—been known for a decade or more.
Broccoli and cauliflower are the only vegetables I truly hate. I like cabbage and brussels sprouts.
Broccoli is great, but it must be eaten raw. Cooking ruins it. Cooking ruins peas, too. I eat frozen peas right out of the bag in the summer instead of ice cream. Asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and any kind of squash are not edible at all, in my opinion.
Those of us of a certain generation grew up disliking broccoli and brussels sprouts because our mom cooked them to a soggy mush. I learned to love them when my wife lightly steamed them and added added lemon juice to the brussels sprouts. Broccoli is great raw with a little Ranch dressing or stir-fried with olive oil and fresh garlic. My younger son and I fight over who gets the last brussel sprout.
