Broccoli¹

西兰花

Broccoli gets a lot of flak for being the bland² food kids stay away from, but this under-appreciated vegetable has many nutrients³ the body needs, including folate, fiber⁴, vitamins C and A and calcium⁵. As little as a half a cup of this flexible ingredient contains more than half of your daily requirement for vitamin K and vitamin C! A small study from 2012 also showed it can reduce cholesterol⁶ and triglyceride levels, which are both major players in cardiovascular diseases.

由于西兰花味淡，很多孩子都避之不及，因此备受指责。但这一未被人重视的蔬菜含有身体所需的多种营养素，包括叶酸、纤维素、维生素C、维生素A和钙元素。半杯西兰花所含的维生素K和维生素C含量就超过了人体每日所需量的一半！一项2012年的小型研究也表明：西兰花可降低胆固醇水平和甘油三酯水平，而它们是导致心血管疾病的主要'元凶'。
