Spinach is good on pizza, yes. :)

Spinach rolls are wonderful, except when the cat decides to try them and then spits them out on your computer keyboard - necessitating a call to the repair people, who laugh at your misfortune when you explain why you have spinach (and other ingredients) in your keyboard.
 
I prefer Cauliflower, but Broccoli's decent too :)

of course, I like to drown both in Béchamel sauce which pretty much cancels out any health benefit ;)
 
Broccoli uber alles!

I eat raw broccoli everyday for lunch. It is my favorite veggie.

Absolutely not.

Besides, you can be overweight and healthy.
There is a huge difference between too much food intake, and not enough diversity in your food intake.
The first is not good, but if you exercise regularly and have a diverse and otherwise healthy diet, you are okay. The latter is downright dangerous.
One of the problems with the whole health debate, is that the importance of being overweight have been blown way out of proportion. The problem partially stems from that overweight people usually have other problems aside their weight, like an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, little time outside ect. But skinny people can have the same problems.
And don't think that vitamin food supplements will help you, they are more likely to hurt you*, if you eat healthy, you certainly won't need it, and there are other things in food that is needed besides vitamins (minerals, antioxidants, aminoacids).

*With one notable exception, Vitamin D, which people that gets little sunlight often needs, like people living up north or people working indoors. It is linked to several things, like depression and calcium intake.
 
Absolutely love it.

Lightly steamed, it's texture is immaculate especially as a contrast to softer root vegetables and meat in a roast dinner. I always eat my broccoli first as it tends to go cold quickly. It also looks fantastic as an added bonus.
 
Eating broccoli doesn't make you live longer. It just feels longer.
 
I love Broccoli. It's good fresh, boiled, with stuff on it, without stuff on it. On other stuff.

You really can't go wrong.

Spoiler :

But sometimes you can go especially right.:drool:

<3 broccoli
 
Broccoli is also decently high in luteolin, a flavonoid that has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and is capable of boosting pro-life signaling in neurons. (That said, I've only seen studies with luteolin being injected to cause the benefits)

The dietary fibre is a neat mixture of nearly 50:50 soluble to insoluble

It's very easy to get full on broccoli, which is a good feature for people like me, who have a hard time filling up. 600 calories of broccoli makes me feel 'full', which is a decent bang-for-my-buck

Broccoli is an integral part of my hopes of seeing an immortal society
 
what do you expect. wolves are carnivores.
 
That is interesting! I put it on pizza frequently but I think by itself that could work too.

Owen, you should try preparing your own broccoli. Just steam it and it is delicious! Even raw! Raw is probably my favorite, and most nutritious!

I wouldn't think broccoli works on pizza--unless you dice it into really small florettes and pieces, you are going to have to take awkward bites to get a full stalk. Or, it will just pull cheese and sauce off one side of your 'za.



On broccoli in general: I can't stand raw. I hate raw. I'd rather eat a leather sack full of razor blades.

Now cooked is something else. Usually, I do steamed.
 
Broccoli makes very good purees and sauces.

It is also excellent stuffed into chicken and other meats along with some other ingredients.
 
Broccoli is amazing as long as it's not ruined with buttter or cheese. I'll never understand why the latter is so popular with broccoli, as far as vegetables goes I prefer most of them plain...but broccoli is the only one that's always plain.
 
It tastes great and is healthy and has a taste unique enough to use it as gimmicks in salads or fried salad dishes.

Voted both fantastic, wonderful and awesome.

Children don't usually like it, but there's a trick in Danish if they're really young; brocolli sounds like it has a connection with the Danish work "brok", which loosely translates into the English "rant". So if you're at the dinner table, you have to be polite and all, and then if children don't like brocolli, the adult can say, "Well, brocolli is a magical vegetable; if you eat it, you're allowed to rant." So the adult eats the vegetable and starts ranting about random things "Ugh, it was sooo annoying going to work today, and uuugh why don't I have candy right now" and then suddenly the child finds the vegetable interesting because it wants to rant too. Suddenly a game comes out of it, plus it allows the parents to bond with their kid. :)
