A popular way to cook broccoli removes potentially cancer-fighting compounds from it — here's how you should cook it instead

Yes Nuke that broccoli, much better..NOT

Microwave kill all nutrients in anything. So do your cooking on a stove.

seriously? its 2016, this shouldnt be news to anyone. Its like yahoo has a list of topics they just recycle periodically.

ok thanks, I kind of thought boiling it wasn't the best way.

Cannot believe somebody is, getting paid to tell you how to cook broccoli .

just eat it raw

Ive heard that a microwave is not good either....doesnt the "microwaves" destroy all the vitamins and healthy stuff ?

I'm always worried about what's on the stuff. I wash and wash and trim. Hoping I've gotten off any containments.

It's best to steam it on your stove than in a microwave. Microwave to other things to food. If you put 1/2 inch of water in a pot, bring to a boil, add a pile of broccoli and cover. 5 minutes and it's done. I add a bunch of herbs to mine too. Salt free seasoning and some garlic.

Why not use a stovetop steamer instead?

Whatever you do ,don't roast it,you get greasy broccoli and even with seasoning,tastes like #$%$,steamed is the best or cooked with rice,like in a Rizzoto.

This article goes with the recipe of " A thousand ways to Wok your Dog"...

The best tasting brocolli is roasted not steamed. Oven ,roll it in olive oil, 375, for about 25 min. Sprinkle some parmesan . The best! You wont steam it again .

I think a lot of people cook broccoli way too long. You are suppose to cook it just long enough till it is tender or firm. If you cook it till it turns to brown mush you have destoryed it.

I'd only be impressed if it took the taste away as well.

Steam. Add a dash of soy sauce. Maybe some toasted almonds. Super yum!

Well duh !

nuts!!! i use my pot steamer a lot better that way!

microwave?.....and you story is in making sure you don,t loose vital nutrients by boiling it....what are all you people pure dip #$%$!!!!!! .................a microwave completly destroys any nutritional value whatsoever.......better go back to the KOOL AID trouff......

Nutrients don't need to go anywhere to be destroyed. This guy is nutty.Vitamin c is destroyed with heat, does it need to go anyware for this ...no it doesnt it.
