The nutrients in broccoli are at their highest when the vegetable is raw or lightly cooked so make sure that you don't overcook it and steam them if possible. Whilst you will come across different preparation methods, we highly recommend steaming or lightly cooking. We have an electric vegetable steamer but you can also get a saucepan version too. Steaming it gently will ensure that you retain as many nutrients as possible.
