About Broccoli, raw
A cruciferous vegetable eaten both raw and cooked, broccoli is strikingly low in energy at 34 calories per 100 grams and nearly 90 percent water. Its standout feature is micronutrient density rather than macronutrients: vitamin C reaches 89.2 milligrams and vitamin K 102 micrograms per 100 grams, with 63 micrograms of folate and provitamin A carotenoids. Protein is comparatively high for a vegetable at 2.82 grams, and the 6.64 grams of carbohydrate carry 2.6 grams of fiber against only 1.7 grams of sugar. Potassium leads the minerals at 316 milligrams, joined by phosphorus and calcium. This pairing of very low calories with dense vitamin content places broccoli among the more nutrient-concentrated foods per calorie.
