To be honest, I've never been a huge fan of broccoli\u2013 at the most, I tolerated it fried in bread crumbs, like my family cooked it way back when.
\nBut I think the previously boring broccoli has shed its dusty image at this point \u2013 probably owing to the green smoothie hype as well as the little-known fact that this vegetable isn't just pretty but can also taste amazing.<\/p>\n

Yes, you can eat broccoli raw. Whenever I tell people about my crunchy broccoli salad, using raw florets, I earn skeptical and sometimes horrified looks. Broccoli? Raw?
\nOf course this question does not come from the raw foodie community \u2013 they're partially responsible for the broccoli's current popular revival.<\/p>\n

What makes the broccoli a superfood? Its green colour stems from\u00a0its\u00a0high magnesium content, which supports our metabolism, muscle development and heart function. Broccoli also contains numerous secondary plant metabolites like flavonoids and glucosinolates, which can have a cancer-inhibiting effect, as well as a high level of digestion-promoting fibre.<\/p>\n

Broccoli is a great anti-stress veg, protecting our mucous membranes in the winter, containing a ton of vitamin C and preventing colds - ideal for the freezing season.<\/p>\n

It is rich in potassium, which reduces water retention and lowers blood pressure, as well as calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and sodium, and of course vitamins B1, B2, B6, E and carotene (provitamin A).<\/p>\n

By the way, it's not just the delicate florets that are edible, but also the stem, albeit cooked or very finely sliced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In this particular recipe, the cranberries don't just make this salad look good, but also provide many nutrients. Cranberries come from the US and, in their raw form, have a very sour taste. Once dried or cooked, they release their yummy sweet and tangy flavour.<\/p>\n

Cranberries contain a lot of vitamin C and iron and are therefore great for a strong immune system.
\nGreat tip for us ladies: they are ideal for the prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections and also pack many antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and fibre.
\nCombined with my broccoli salad and some cashew nuts, I think they're absolutely heavenly.<\/p>\n
