Broccoli is an excellent source of several protective nutrients: Vitamin K, for healthy bones, sulphur compounds linked to cancer protection, the antioxidant Vitamin C, lutein which protects the eyes, and dietary fibre.

Onions, garlic and herbs all contribute to protection against heart disease and cancer.
