ByОлена Коновалова
BROCCOLI
    Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is characterized by a high concentration of ascorbic acid (99.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), vitamin K (phylloquinone) (85.0%), the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin (23.4%), and folate (16.0%). Its mineral profile is notably rich in: boron (264.0% DV per 100 g), silicon (260.0%), sulfur (14.0%), potassium (13.0%), manganese (11.0%), and iodine (10.0%). Additionally, it contains dietary fiber (13.0%), while starch and sucrose are absent from its composition.
    The total purine base content in 100 g of broccoli constitutes approximately 17.0% of the daily allowance, a factor that should be considered by patients with gout.
     The concentration of oxalic acid per 100 g is 14 mg, representing 3.5% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).
Caloric value per 100 g: 34 kcal
Water in 100 g: 89.3 g
Ash from 100 g: 0.87 g
