Description

Frozen broccoli florets are a practical and nutritious version of fresh broccoli, consisting of small, pre-separated clusters ready to use in the kitchen. This ingredient saves preparation time and preserves all the properties of broccoli thanks to its freezing process shortly after harvest.

Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable originating from the Mediterranean region, with a long tradition in Italian and European cuisine. Its cultivation has spread worldwide due to its nutritional value and versatility in various recipes.

This food is rich in vitamins C, K, and A, as well as dietary fiber, antioxidants, and minerals such as calcium and iron. Its regular consumption is associated with benefits for the immune system, bone health, and digestion.

In different Latin American countries, broccoli may also be known as brócoli, bróculi, or simply frozen broccoli. In some contexts, the terms broccoli in clusters or broccoli florets are used to refer to the small portions ready for cooking.

Frozen broccoli florets are ideal for stir-fries, stews, soups, steaming, or baking, maintaining their texture and flavor, and are an excellent option for those looking to incorporate easy-to-use vegetables that are available year-round.
