High Fiber Vegetable #3: Broccoli
Belonging to the cruciferous vegetable family, broccoli is a popular, great-tasting vegetable that has many health benefits. One cup of cooked broccoli contains about 5 grams of fiber. It is usually steamed, boiled, and added to many appetizing dishes.
Surprisingly, broccoli contains as much vitamin C as one orange, and it includes beta-carotene. It is high in vitamin K, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, potassium, and folate. As broccoli contains cancer fighting compounds like most cruciferous vegetables, researchers are still studying this effect and its conclusions. However, the amount of essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber in this vegetable provide many health benefits.
