Because besides having a delicious taste, broccoli is one of the vegetables that is in great demand by many people. Including me, I really enjoy having broccoli for my daily meal.

Stir-fried, fried, boiled, everything is delicious. I always consider broccoli to be the queen of vegetables, because it has always been the number 1 choice in my family.
