Health Benefits of Broccoli: a 100 gram serving of raw Broccoli provides 34 kcal and is an excellent source (20% or higher of the Daily Value, DV) of vitamin C and vitamin K.
Raw broccoli also contains moderate amounts (10–19% DV) of several B vitamins and the dietary mineral manganese, whereas other essential nutrients are in low content.
Broccoli has a low content of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and dietary fiber.
