Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head and stalk are eaten as a vegetable. It is one of the world's healthiest foods.

This vegetable is a powerhouse of nutrients. It's reputed to benefit digestion, the cardiovascular system, and the immune system, and to have anti-inflammatory and even cancer-preventing properties.

Is Broccoli Keto Friendly vegetable?

Yes. The best type of vegetables for a ketogenic diet are both high in nutrients and low in carbohydrates. These include broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, lettuce, cucumbers, and more. For example, a serving of broccoli (3 ounces raw) has 30 calories and 3 grams net carbs.

What is Poriyal?

Poriyal, also known as thoran, is a South Indian coconut stir fry made with vegetables. You can also make this poriyal with cabbage, green beans, carrots, okra, beets.
