Here’s another article I recently did for sprig.com. I’m so loving the broccoli we’ve had, though the current heat wave will likely wipe it out soon.

Can someone please stop global warming now so that I can have sugar snap peas next week?

Why it’s good:

All cruciferous vegetables—broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, and more—are power vegetables in terms of nutrition. They’re loaded with potent cancer-fighting compounds that help detoxify the body and help prevent healthy cells from turning into cancerous ones.
