I love the texture of the little florets, as a ketoer it reminds me of rice.

I also love green peas. Buy a huge bag from the supermarket, and stick it in the freezer, then whenever you want a tasty snack stick some in the microwave with butter and mustard and hot sauce or whatever seasonings you happen to like.

[Anonymous No.11729819]

its always been a favourite of mine. Then I discovered broccolini. Ohhhh boy that was a life changer.

It inhibits estrogen and makes your tits smaller.

I agree. It’s top tier veg, same as cauliflower.

[Anonymous No.11731309]

Broccoli is high in oxalates, which cause kidney stones, and it's also high in arsenic, a poisonous chemical element present in soil. Broccoli has a natural affinity for arsenic, so it absorbs it out of the ground more than other plants. Peas and spinach are also high in oxalates and arsenic.

Broccoli is amazing. So is cauliflower.

cabbage and spinach are top choice. chard and kale are a bit bitter for my taste

[Anonymous No.11731692]

Cabbage, spinach, and broccoli also all tend to be cheap, which is wonderful.

How do you prepare your brussel sprouts?

Keep them away from enclosed spaces where other veggies/fruits are giving off ethylene, so that includes enclosing them in their own space. Keep them in a cool dry place, in the open as much as they possibly can.

well thank goodness i only eat fast food.

[Anonymous No.11732773]

>>11731309
I would argue the arsenic concentration is so small that you'd have to eat large amounts of broccoli each day, for a long term period, before you were affected in a noticeable way. The kidney stones? I'm sure there is another reason that trumps high oxalates.

[Anonymous No.11732778]

>>11732773
I eat 1lb of broccoli every day, plus a half pound of spinach. Am I going to get arsenic poisoning/kidney stones?

[Anonymous No.11732783]

>>11729617
If you've never grilled your broccoli you gotta grill your broccoli bros.

It's fucking phenomenal. I toss it with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic and throw it on the grill.

All I eat for lunch now is seasoned lentils with whatever cabbage/leafs are cheapest at the asian market. Usually I go for spinach, watercress, collard greens, and some kind of bok choy or nappa cabbage and boil it into a sloop de turd

I just buy bulk bags of different varieties of lentils at the asian market when they're on sale and pick one when it's time to cook. You have a particular recommendation? Right now I'm going through red lentils.

I fucking love broccoli. It just doesn't go well with everything tho. My mom tried hiding broccoli in spaghetti and meatballs, and I hated it. Like bitch please, I love broccoli, you don't have to hide it. Just give it to me on the side.

No personal recommendations. I just understand that a mixture of beans/lentils will provide you with a more complete amino acid and general nutrient base. Beyond that, I really have no clue. I usually try to mix different colors as that seems to indicate they at least have some different nutrients at play. You could always go hardcore and find the latest nutrient breakdown of various legumes and use that as a sort of guide, learning what various nutrients and amino acids are crucial and which are only present in certain types.

Oxalates does not cause kidney stones, acids in animal food does. They are high in sulfure which negate the effect anyway.
You should worry about arsenic in chicken and meat instead of broccoli.

This, vegetable isn't defined as "plant that isn't a fruit", it doesn't have a strict definition at all. It's fine to call tomatoes vegetables. It's only incorrect to say they aren't fruit.
