Because of its low calorie, broccoli contains only 27 kilocalories per100g, and is rich in nutrients such as calcium, carotene, vitamin C and sulforaphane.
However, every time broccoli is mentioned, people are afraid, because they may find some green bugs while soaking broccoli. Eating in a restaurant outside, you may even find this bug directly in the dishes.
However, the nutritionist in the explosion nutrition class told everyone that it is very normal for broccoli to have bugs. You don't need to worry. The combination of meat and vegetables is actually quite good: broccoli is a relatively "delicate" type, and the living environment is very comfortable. But it tastes delicious and is very popular with insects. Therefore, many diamondback moths will lay tiny eggs on broccoli, and after late incubation, they will become the green bugs we see.
This kind of green bug is clean and non-toxic, which will neither spoil broccoli nor do harm to human health, and will not be parasitic in the body. Small bugs enter the stomach and will eventually be digested by gastric acid. So, you don't have to worry about bugs in broccoli, you can rest assured. And if you are still afraid, try to get rid of them and do more work in the process of cleaning broccoli. Having said that, many people may be worried again, because broccoli, a vegetable, often ranks first in the list of vegetable cleaning difficulties. But in fact, the nutritionist who exploded the nutrition class thought it was not so difficult, but everyone didn't master the cleaning skills. Here, let me tell you something: a big broccoli is of course very difficult to clean. So you should break the broccoli into small pieces before washing it. Many people may cut it with a knife, but it is easy to chop up the flowers, and finally make the kitchen everywhere, which is not convenient for cooking.
It is recommended not to cut, cut or break with a knife in the future, which is more appropriate. Cut the broccoli in sequence with scissors, or grab the root of the small clump with one hand and hold it with the other, which can perfectly segment the broccoli.
Then add a proper amount of water, pour in some edible salt, wash it by hand and soak it for two minutes. This can not only remove pesticide residues, but also soak out vegetable worms. Finally, we pour out the water and rinse it under the tap, so that the broccoli can be washed very clean.
