Broccoli, green, boiled in salted water

Broccoli is a green vegetable; the figures here describe it boiled in salted water. It provides fibre, some protein, and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 2.8g of fibre, 3.3g of protein, 44mg of vitamin C and 0.38g of salt.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while vitamin C is needed for normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as these figures relate to broccoli cooked with added salt. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
