Nutrition note
Broccoli is typically one of the favorites to start meals with because it is so simple for babies to grasp. So that the baby may grasp the stem easily, cook and separate the florets. 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.
