Soooo you think you know your broccoli

1. Broccoli originated in Italy off of the Mediterranean. It has been eaten there since the time of the ancient Romans in the 6th Century BC.

2. Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, making it a cruciferous vegetable. It's name is derived from the Italian word broccolo, meaning the flowering top of a cabbage.

3. Want something high in Vitamin C but don't feel like eating fruit? Broccoli is very high in Vitamin C, making 1 cup of chopped broccoli the Vitamin C equivalent of an orange. One cup of raw chopped broccoli will give you your entire daily needed intake.

4. Broccoli is also very high in Vitamin A. Vitamin A helps fight cancer within your cells, as well as keep your eyes healthy and stave off glaucoma and other eye degenerative diseases. It also helps to promote healthy skin, break down urinary stones (a big issue with the summer heat and dehydration) and maintain healthy bones and teeth.

5. Broccoli is high in fiber. Not only in soluble fiber but insoluble as well. Since your body needs both types, it's great to know that broccoli is can fulfill both your needs.

6. Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States, was a fan of broccoli, importing the seeds from Italy to plant at Monticello. He recorded planting the vegetable there as early as May of 1767.

7. Broccoli contains the flavonoid kaempferol. Kaempferol is an anti-inflammatory, helps fight against cancer and heart disease, and has been shown to be preventative in adult diabetes onset.

8. Although it may be known as the "golden state", California produces 90% of our nations broccoli. Perhaps we should rename California as the "broccoli state."

9. Broccoli has also played a key part in the James Bond film series. Well, sort of... An Italian-American, Mr. Albert R. Broccoli, is credited with bringing Ian Fleming's James Bond to film. Mr. Broccoli produced all of the Bond Films made during his life and his heirs currently help continue on the legacy.

10. While the US enjoys their broccoli with the average American eating over 4 pounds a year, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA, we are only the 3rd largest producer world wide. China, producing over 8 million tons a year, comes in at the number 1 spot.

Could have replaced it with the person who first discovered that mixing broccoli with stilton makes the worlds best soup. Now that would have been a very interesting fact.

Broccoli is like catnip to my son, he would eat it with every meal if possible, and he takes a small pot of it to school for his snack time, his favourite way of eating it is steamed, I have had to resort to buying mostly frozen broccoli, because he will raid the fridge, and eat it raw and then complain that there is none left at dinner time.

My daughter loves broccoli to, but not as much as my son.

Weird kids, but what do you expect, I'm hardly a "traditional" dad am I lol

In my time in California, I never really noticed broccoli. And I like broccoli. I did notice Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world, where they have an annual garlic festival, serving garlic ice cream, which most if not all James Bond actors have never tried.

My mates dog likes carrots, but will eat raw spuds also. I've noticed few dogs in garden's eating certain things growing, like I watched a dog eat some oregano leaves growing and couldn't work out why, turns out it would settle a stomach on a dog, guess dog knows best, but her dog eats apples but then I've never known a dog that would. Guess depends how dogs been brought up

The only good broccoli recipe is to gently dice it up using a sharp knife, and add it to a frying pan that has garlic butter gently simmering.

Add spices to bring out the flavours and pour yourself a glass of nice red wine.

Throw the broccoli in the bin and enjoy the wine.

"Soooo you think you know your broccoli

1. Broccoli originated in Italy off of the Mediterranean. It has been eaten there since the time of the ancient Romans in the 6th Century BC.

2. Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, making it a cruciferous vegetable. It's name is derived from the Italian word broccolo, meaning the flowering top of a cabbage.

5. Broccoli is high in fiber. Not only in soluble fiber but insoluble as well. Since your body needs both types, it's great to know that broccoli is can fulfill both your needs.

7. Broccoli contains the flavonoid kaempferol. Kaempferol is an anti-inflammatory, helps fight against cancer and heart disease, and has been shown to be preventative in adult diabetes onset.

8. Although it may be known as the "golden state", California produces 90% of our nations broccoli. Perhaps we should rename California as the "broccoli state."

Broccoli does not exist in the wild man made .

Broccoli belongs to the cruciferous family of vegetables.

This group of vegetables can be an irritant to those with IBS.

Test it with a fork after 3, 4 and 5 minutes (probably 5 depending on the size of the florets)

Should still be that dark green but don't forget to take the lid off when it's done or it will carry on cooking.

Seperate pan with oil, garlic, lemon juice(salt and pepper if needed) warm it up and then quickly toss the broccoli in it to coat it.
