Broccoli is a very nutritious food and also a fantastic source of vitamin A, which promotes the health of the eyes. In addition, broccoli has fiber for a healthy digestive system, vitamin B6 and folate for growth and brain development. Broccoli is also rich in chemicals which may prevent the growth of a number of cancers.
