Few vegetables divide a dinner table quite like broccoli.
But whether children see mini trees or their worst enemy, broccoli is one of the most nutrient-dense greens there is.
It brings chlorophyll and a range of phytochemicals including phenolic acids and carotenoids — the kinds of plant compounds that make nutritionists talk about eating your greens with such enthusiasm. Including it adds genuine depth to the range of plant compounds children take in alongside what they already eat.
