I do love me some roasted, buttery, salted broccoli...
In fact, it's probably my most favorite food.
Broccoli has been my most longstanding favorite food since I was a kid.
But apparently, the healthiest way to eat whole, fresh broccoli is by chopping it longways into smaller/manageable pieces, letting it sit for awhile...
And basically eating it raw.
Chopping the broccoli a little bit starts the process of sulforaphane creation...

Same applies to cabbage and other super sulfury veggies.
Best chopped a little and eaten raw to maximize that sulforaphane.
It's insanely healthy.
That said, I will always mix it up and eat these foods raw, roasted, boiled, etc.
But I will definitely be incorporating a lot more raw broccoli and cabbage into my diet.
I was already rockin' that raw purple cabbage lately anyway.
