Great post! I always knew that broccoli was good for you, but I had no idea of how beneficially it actually is. Another good way to get the benefits from broccoli without having to make it part of your meals; is by blending them up in your smoothies so that you can mask the taste of it with the other ingredients!
Good evening Evan thanks for the follow and for that bit of information. Have a good day.

If these are facts the I will be eating beets by the bucket load. Not sure about the hair dye idea, what colour would it be? Purple? Thanks for sharing. Cheers Kev
