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

Eat broccoli raw! Eat carrots raw! Eat beans raw! Eat kale in a salad raw! Eat peas raw! God or Mother Nature (whichever you prefer) made these vegetables with a delicious, often slightly sweet, flavor all on their own. Why did we humans ever think we had to mess them up? Cook your corn and potatoes though, please. ;-P

I've been doing it the right way for awhile then...

Broccoli should be slightly cooked so the goitrogens don't affect your thyroid function.

Crazy...micro-waving is not healthy! Steam the broccoli and drink the remaining water.

Microwave it!! What an idiot. How do these people think they know anything about healthy food. Steam it exactly like none of your business below says.

Microwaving is no different, you're above 110 degrees, it will kill the nutrients.

wow that is amazing

Here in Dallass Texass we love our broccoli deep fried along with our meat..

I insert vegetables rectaly for the best in nutrient absorption.

If this "article" was supposed to be informative, they failed miserably.

Glass bowl in the microwave? seriously?

Looks like for them is not important to make sure that the glass bowl is microwave safe.

i think the healthiest method is to batter and deep fry it!

Microwave oven is good for warming up only. And stay away from it while it's running.

As it is a cancer causing wave.

Or you could just steam it....

I just chop it into my salad - raw.

Or you could have just said steam it

Cook it any way you like. If you eat fairly healthy, that occasional side dish of broccoli isn't going to change your health one way or the other.

My Mom did the "Plop the veggies in boiling water until they were limp and dead" way of cooking, couldn't get me to eat spinach; now why didn't the silly woman just put it on a plate raw with some salad dressing? lol

same for most vegetables...faster, easier and ends tastier if nuked.....try corn!!

I eat it raw. cut off the stem, dip in ranch or french dip and enjoy.

I dont LIke Bwoccoli.
