First day of Perth lockdown in 2021 saw me looking in the fridge for something yummy! NOOO. Get out of the cheese draw Teen. SO this happened for lunch.
Perfectly delish. Easy as bro. And kind of ok for a lockdown meal. You could use it for a side, but lunch it was. The benefits of eating more broccoli are out there, I mean which mum doesn't want her kids to eat broccoli twice a week?
Broccoli is an excellent detoxifier thanks to sulphur, vitamin C, and other amino acids. Free radicals do the damage to your body, but the powerful antioxidants found in broccoli can remove these toxins including uric acid. Arthritis, gout, and boils are related to problems with toxins. You can purify your body when you eat broccoli. Second helping anyone?
