Broccoli is hailed as a nutritional powerhouse, packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help strengthen immunity, fight off illness, and support both cardiovascular and cognitive health.
However, not many people realize that how you prepare and combine broccoli with other foods can either maximize its health potential or compromise it.
Unhealthy Broccoli Pairings to Watch Out For
1. Broccoli with Acidic Additions (Like Vinegar or Lemon Juice)
While tangy sauces can add flavor, their acidity may degrade broccoli’s vitamin C content, reducing its antioxidant potency and potentially affecting iron absorption.
Tip: Add acidic elements like lemon juice after cooking, and use them sparingly.
