Fresh broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable known for its high nutritional value and versatility in the kitchen. It is characterized by its compact heads of deep green color and firm stalks. Originating from the Mediterranean region, especially Italy, broccoli has been cultivated since antiquity and is very popular in world cuisine.

This ingredient is rich in vitamins C, K, and A, as well as dietary fiber and antioxidants, which help strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and protect cells from oxidative damage. Furthermore, it is low in calories, making it an ideal choice for various healthy preparations.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, fresh broccoli is also known as bróculi, brécol, or arbolito.

In cooking, fresh broccoli can be consumed raw, steamed, sautéed, or incorporated into soups, salads, and stews, providing texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor.
