Broccoli is loaded with essential nutrients like vitamins C, K, and A. One cup of steamed broccoli alone will give you 205% DV of your vitamin C for the day, so there's no reason to take a vitamin C supplement if you have broccoli in the fridge. Vitamin C is important get ingest daily, as it is water soluble and does not store in the body. Whatever vitamin C in your body is not used will simply be flushed out of your system. It is important for daily function, performing tasks such as repairing body tissue and helps the body make collagen - necessary in putting together and maintaining bones, teeth, gums, and blood vessels. Vitamin K performs similar functions to that of vitamin C, but can be stored in the fat tissue of the body, and with 194% DV per cup, you'll be storing plenty. Vitamin A helps improve vision (especially night vision), improves skin health, and is necessary in transcribing your DNA and RNA. A one cup serving of broccoli has about 45% DV of vitamin A.

It also has high fiber content, which helps to keep your digestion tract clean and healthy. Broccoli also has low / moderate levels of calcium and protein. Broccoli is definitely one of the healthiest vegetables around, and one that should be eaten regularly.
