The anti-aging superfood is full of the vitamin your body needs to produce collagen, plus it's chock full of antioxidants.

这一抗衰老的超级食物富含人体分泌胶原蛋白所需的维生素，而且还富含抗氧化剂。

We're always looking for the next superfood or vegetable with hopes that will solve all of our problems. But what if that new magical ingredient is already hanging out in the crisper? And what if you haven't been taking advantage of all the delicious recipes it's used in? And what if you can actually eat it with pasta? That magical vegetable, my friends, is broccoli¹. Before you scrunch² up your nose and click elsewhere, read on because Mom was right when she said "eat your veggies."

我们一直在寻找下一个超级食物或蔬菜，希望其替我们解决所有问题。但如果这一新的神奇成分已经在保鲜盒里放着了呢？如果你并未完全利用这一超级食物制作美味菜肴呢？如果它可以和意大利面一起搭配呢？我的朋友们，这一神奇蔬菜就是西兰花。在你皱起鼻子弃文前，再看一看吧，因为你的妈妈说对了--"多吃蔬菜"。

Broccoli, the cruciferous vegetable kids and adults love to hate, is edible³ and valuable all the way from its stem end to its tight clusters of tiny buds. Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamins A and C among other elements our body needs, such as iron and calcium⁴. The interesting bit here is that in order for our body to produce collagen, it needs vitamin C. And broccoli is packed with it.

西兰花是一种十字花科蔬菜，但儿童和成年人都不喜欢吃。从根部到顶部的一簇簇小花蕾，西兰花全身都是宝，全身都可以吃。这一蔬菜是维生素A和维生素C的极佳来源，也是身体所需铁元素和钙元素的极佳来源。有趣的是，若要身体分泌胶原蛋白，必须补充维生素C。而西兰花恰好富含这一维生素。

Steamed or raw broccoli is deliciously simple, of course. But you're missing out if you're not using up the entire head of broccoli. Not only does the veggie get you more bang for your buck⁵, but you're also maximizing the superfood's anti-aging benefits by eating more of it. Think you're not a broccoli fan? Crank up the oven and try it roasted and then turned into a pesto.

当然，清蒸西兰花或生西兰花本身就很美味。西兰花不仅物超所值，吃得多还能最大化的获得其抗衰老功效。不喜欢吃西兰花？准备好烤箱，将烤熟后的西兰花制作香蒜酱。

In this Roasted Broccoli Pesto Pasta, the roasted broccoli stems and florets are pureed with almonds, cheese, lemon, arugula, oil, and reserved pasta cooking water. But to make a basic pesto all you really need is a nut and herb of choice, lemon, garlic, and oil-if that's all you have on hand, go rogue⁶ with those ingredients.

在制备好的烤西兰花蒜香意大利面中，烤西兰花茎和花蕾上洒满了杏仁、奶酪、柠檬、芝麻菜、油和预留的意大利面水。但如果只是准备基础款蒜香酱，只要坚果、一种草本植物、柠檬、大蒜和油就可以了--如果你手头上只有这些食材，尽情发挥吧！

Get this anti-inflammatory and anti-aging veggie into your diet. If it's a hard sell, this pasta with broccoli pesto definitely won't be.

膳食常备这一消炎、抗衰老的蔬菜吧。如果你觉得西兰花推不出去，我推荐的这款西兰花蒜香酱肯定会大受欢迎。
