Diabetic Diet Foods To Eat #9: Broccoli
Broccoli is a non-starchy vegetable that is also considered a superfood for its antioxidant content. It has more vitamin C per 100 grams than an entire orange. This dark vegetable also has vitamin A, which promotes healthy vision, teeth and skin.
Since broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable, similar to cabbage and cauliflower, it is associated with reducing the risk of death from heart disease. Increased consumption of vegetables improves long-term health. A serving size is one cup raw or ½ a cup cooked. Consider pairing broccoli with hummus or making a stir fry. When preparing broccoli, chop off the step and steam until bright green.
