Broccoli is incredibly useful and contains a large amount of vitamins, proteins, fiber, trace elements necessary for the human body. For her valuable qualities, she is called the "Cabbage Queen".

Broccoli is delicious fresh in salads, it can be baked in the oven, fried in a frying pan or deep-fried, or you can add it to soups. 
Healthy and delicious!

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper). 

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which one is better not to use at all, read here .

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
