In the kitchen.
Wash and cut into even pieces. Check the thickest stem for tenderness; avoid crowding the oven tray.
Calcium · follow the connection
Broccoli contains calcium. Calcium in tofu and plant beverages depends on the product and fortification; check the label. Food names do not establish a calcium amount. These links do not show that a meal prevents fractures or meets an individual requirement.
Potassium · follow the connection
These foods are listed by NIH ODS as potassium sources. Variety, preparation and portion change the amount; no recipe nutrient totals are calculated here. More is not always appropriate. Kidney disease and some medicines can change potassium handling; follow your care plan. This explorer does not recommend potassium supplements or salt substitutes.
