Nutritional values

Broccoli is brimming with secondary plant compounds such as glucosinolates (sulphur compounds) and beta-carotene, which can render cell-harming free radicals harmless. In addition, cabbage provides a lot of defensive vitamin C and a good portion of calcium.

If you're trying to limit your red meat intake, you can always use turkey instead of ham.
