Broccoli, green, boiled in salted water

Broccoli is a green vegetable; the figures here describe it boiled in salted water. It provides fibre, some protein, and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 2.8g of fibre, 3.3g of protein, 44mg of vitamin C and 0.38g of salt.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while vitamin C is needed for normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods.
