Eat broccoli either fresh or steamed. Do not boil or overcook it. Even the unpleasant smell of the boiled broccoli lets you know that it is not suitable to eat it the way you’re attempting to!

Broccoli’s skin benefits are numerous. It’s like an infinite journey into the unknown where the light of enlightenment keeps coming onto you without stopping.
Here’s a recipe, you may call it sparse and not interesting. But for me, it’s the most exciting time of the day – my lunch – when I prepare this easy and delicious meal for myself and whoever is around the house on this day. No, I do not do leftovers, especially when it comes to vegetables.
