Broccoli is a vegetable in the cabbage family whose edible green flowerhead is eaten. Broccoli is high in vitamin C and dietary fiber. Broccoli also contains several nutrients with strong anti cancer properties, such as diindolylmethane and small amounts of selenium. A single serving of broccoli provides more than 30 mg of vitamin C and a half cup provides 52 mg of vitamin C. Boiling broccoli reduces the levels of suspected anti carcinogenic compounds, such as sulforaphane, with losses of 20–30 percent after five minutes, 40�50 percent after ten minutes, and 77 percent after thirty minutes. However, other preparation methods such as steaming, microwaving, and stir frying had no significant effect on the compounds in the vegetable.
