Garlic Broccoli - a healthy dish
Overview
The nutrients in broccoli are not only high in content, but also very comprehensive, mainly including protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamin C and carotene. According to analysis, every 100 grams of fresh broccoli bulbs contains 3.5 to 4.5 grams of protein, which is 3 times that of cauliflower and 4 times that of tomatoes. In addition, broccoli is more comprehensive in mineral content than other vegetables. It is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, zinc, manganese, etc., which is much higher than that of cabbage, which also belongs to the Brassicaceae family. Broccoli ranks first in terms of average nutritional value and disease prevention effects. Cooked broccoli contains vitamin C, potassium, folate, vitamin A, magnesium, pantothenic acid, iron and phosphorus. In addition, broccoli also contains carotene. Broccoli can effectively reduce the incidence of breast cancer, rectal cancer, stomach cancer, heart disease and stroke, as well as sterilize and prevent infection. Perhaps the most significant thing about broccoli is its anti-cancer effect. Cauliflower contains more vitamin C than Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, and celery. It is especially effective in preventing and treating gastric cancer and breast cancer. In addition to fighting cancer, broccoli is also rich in ascorbic acid, which can enhance the detoxification ability of the liver and improve the body's immunity. A certain amount of flavonoids can regulate and prevent high blood pressure and heart disease. At the same time, broccoli is a high-fiber vegetable, which can effectively reduce the absorption of glucose by the gastrointestinal tract, thereby lowering blood sugar and effectively controlling the condition of diabetes.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Soak the broccoli in salt water, wash it, break it into small florets, and set the rhizome aside first. Although cauliflower is rich in nutrients, it often contains residual pesticides and is prone to cabbage bugs. Therefore, before eating, you can soak the cauliflower in salt water for a few minutes. The cabbage bugs will escape and it will also help to remove residual pesticides. The rhizomes can be saved for other dishes.
-
Pour water into the pot, add salt, bring the oil to a boil, put the broccoli in and blanch it for a few minutes, then drain it into cold water. Don’t blanch them for too long. Be sure to put them in cold water after taking them out. Otherwise, the color will not look good, the taste will not be good, and the nutrients will be lost.
-
Heat the oil pan, pour in corn oil, stir-fry minced garlic, add broccoli and stir-fry for a while, add salt and chicken essence. Broccoli should not be overcooked, such as frying until it turns brown, as this will give the vegetable a strong sulfur smell and lose nutrients.
