6. People With Allergies or Cross-Reactions
Although rare, some people experience allergic reactions to broccoli, especially those with sensitivities to:
- Mustard
- Cabbage
- Other cruciferous vegetables
Symptoms may include:
- Itchy mouth or throat
- Digestive upset
- Skin reactions
Because broccoli allergies are uncommon, symptoms are often overlooked or misattributed to something else.
