Abstract :
Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head and stalk is eaten as
a vegetable. All parts of broccoli are good for you. Since broccoli is one of the most nutritious
vegetables, providing vitamin C (a day?s worth in a cup, chopped), potassium, B vitamins (including
folate)? even some calcium and iron. Ounce for ounce, the florets and stalks deliver equal amounts of
these nutrients, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Broccoli (like other
6
cruciferous vegetables) also contains sulforaphane and other compounds that may protect against
certain cancers.
The part that in used is the stems, though not as colorful nor flavorful as their more desired florets, they
are just as nutritious. Actually, gram for gram, the stems contain slightly more calcium, iron and Vitamin
C. However, the florets, which are where the seeds and flowers develop, have a higher concentration of
protective phytochemicals, notably beta carotene and other carotenoids as well as sulforaphane and
Vitamin A. The stalks, on the other hand, have more fiber.
Many people, chefs and caterers among them, still discard the trunk and stalks. True, the outer skin can
be fibrous and tough, but with just a little attention, the stem can be turned into something truly
scrumptious. Broccoli stems are most often tossed in the garbage without any thought. The fluffy little
florets, the buds at the top of the stalk that pick up texture and absorb flavors and seasoning beautifully
get all of the love. But the stems can absolutely be eaten if you treat them right, and are completely
delicious like the florets, but more mild and sweet.
Broget is a lacto-ovo-vegetarian nugget which use Broccoli stems as main ingredients. The stems
will be processed into flour and after that it will be processed into nuggets. The nugget itself made from
processed broccoli stems flour, broccoli stems, carrot, breadcrumbs, and eggs. Loaded with rich in
essential vitamins and other healthy nutrition that our human body needs.
