Which is better broccoli or asparagus? ?!
Answers:
Broccoli
Broccoli has been known for over 2000 years!. It was a favourite food of the ancient Romans and has been grown in France and Italy since the 1500's and in England since the early 1700's!. It was first grown commercially in North America by immigrants from Italy in New York!. Broccoli is rich in vitamins and minerals; it is a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium, folacin, iron, phosphorus and fibre!. It also contains important phytochemicals such as beta-carotene, indoles and isothiocyanate!. There are two main types of broccoli, the most common being sprouting/Italian broccoli (Brassica oleracea italica) and the other heading broccoli (Brassica oleracea)!.
Broccoli is grown for three main markets in Canada: fresh, frozen and organic, with the majority going to the fresh market!. There is little information on the size of the organic market and how much of the demand is being met by local production!. Currently, all domestically produced broccoli is consumed in Canada!. There is potential for the expansion of the market with the production of frozen broccoli florettes!.
