🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Broccoli is a green vegetable rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and fibre. Steaming helps preserve its nutrients better than boiling in water. The soft purée texture makes it easy to spoon-feed to babies discovering green vegetables in complementary feeding. With its mild taste, it can also be a good base to blend with other vegetables.
