Broccoli is a health thing to consume and having it almost every day will help your body a lot. They are great for children and if they refuse to eat it, steaming them can make them tasty. You can even steam broccoli with lemon or cheddar cheese to enhance the taste. If you are thinking of green vegetables on your menu, broccoli should come to your mind. Start with picking out fresh broccolis from the store. They tend to get yellow quickly so it is better to cook them the day you got them or the next day and do not make the mistake of leaving them out. Store them in a refrigerator.
