I eat broccoli every day....at least 12 ounces.

The benefits from broccoli can be gotten from other vegetables that were developed from the same 'wild cabbage' plant as broccoli.

CABBAGE

Cabbage, comprising several cultivars of Brassica oleracea, is a leafy green, red (purple), or white (pale green) biennial plant grown as an annual vegetable crop for its dense-leaved heads. It is descended from the wild cabbage (B. oleracea var. oleracea), and belongs to the "cole crops" or brassicas, meaning it is closely related to broccoli and cauliflower (var. botrytis); Brussels sprouts (var. gemmifera); and Savoy cabbage (var. sabauda).

I like broccoli a lot - cabbage is great, too, if properly cooked. Is the same amount of benefit derived from cooked cabbage?

I can't eat cabbage.

Well.... I CAN but my dear family begged me to stop. At least they still allow me to eat it at picnics.

During the summer.

When we can either walk or drive home with the windows open.

I do love cabbage.
