Broccoli, green, raw

Broccoli is a green vegetable, and the figures here describe raw Calabrese broccoli. It provides fibre, protein and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 4g of fibre, 4.3g of protein, 79mg of vitamin C and 95µg of folate. These figures refer to the raw vegetable rather than broccoli that has been cooked or prepared with other ingredients.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Folate is needed for normal cell division and blood formation. Raw broccoli contains little salt or saturated fat; additions such as salt, butter or sauces can change these amounts. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
