What part of broccoli is healthier the stem or the florets?

You could say that the florets are healthier than the stems. Broccoli is high in minerals and vitamins such as beta carotene, calcium, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin C. But there is more beta carotene in the florets than there is in the rest of the plant. And the darker the green color of the florets, the higher the beta carotene and vitamin C content. Although raw broccoli is healthy, cooking releases more of the nutrients.
