Both cooked and raw broccoli are healthy, but they offer slightly different benefits. Raw broccoli retains maximum vitamin C and certain heat-sensitive compounds, while lightly steaming can make some antioxidants more available and improve digestibility. For best results, include a mix of raw and gently cooked broccoli in your diet.
Eating broccoli every day can support overall health because it provides fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Regular consumption may help digestion, support immunity and contribute to heart health. However, balance is important, so enjoy broccoli alongside other vegetables and a varied diet for complete nutrition benefits.

Broccoli is primarily a carbohydrate source, but it also contains a moderate amount of plant-based protein. Most of its calories come from complex carbs and fiber, with some protein and very little fat. This combination makes broccoli a nutritious, low-calorie vegetable that fits well into balanced meals.
The healthiest way to eat broccoli is lightly cooked, such as steaming or quick stir-frying, so it stays bright green and tender-crisp. This method helps preserve vitamins, antioxidants and flavor. You can also enjoy some broccoli raw in salads or dips to get maximum vitamin C and crunch.
