Nutritional values

The vegetarian dish provides plenty of iron, a trace element which is responsible for the formation of red blood cells and is particularly important for those on plant-based diets. 

When buying broccoli, look for a firm stalk and avoid woody, brownish or yellowish stems, which are usually a sign of late harvesting and probably have a bitter taste.
