Description

Frozen broccoli and cauliflower are cruciferous vegetables that come in a practical and ready-to-use form, ideal for those looking to save time in the kitchen without sacrificing nutrients. Broccoli is characterized by its compact green florets and edible stalks, while cauliflower has a dense, white head with a mild and slightly sweet flavor. Both are primarily cultivated in temperate regions, originating from the Mediterranean, and their frozen version allows their properties to be preserved for longer.

The freezing process is carried out after blanching the vegetables, which helps maintain their texture, color, and nutritional value. Both frozen broccoli and cauliflower are rich in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and antioxidants, contributing to strengthening the immune system and improving digestion.

In Hispanic America, broccoli is also known as bróculi or bróculí, while cauliflower usually has no popular synonyms, although in some regions it may simply be called white cabbage. These frozen ingredients are very versatile and are used in soups, stir-fries, stews, salads, and as a healthy side dish in a wide variety of meals.
