Broccoli is loaded in vitamin C, yet a much under appreciated vegetable of children. It sometimes smells funny and looks like a tree. As a kid I always loved the "leaves" but never liked eating the "trunk". They both have anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-cancer activity within 5 minutes of biting into it. Your body will feel so much better after eating this instead of sodium, additive and rancid oil loaded take-out. Good enough reason for something that taste so good!
