Raw vs Cooked: Why It Matters More Than You Think
Many of the issues associated with broccoli come down to how it’s eaten.
Raw broccoli:
- Harder to digest
- Higher in goitrogens
- More likely to cause gas
Cooked broccoli:
- Easier on the stomach
- Reduced thyroid interference
- Still very nutritious
Light steaming is often the best option for people who want the benefits without the discomfort.
