How to prepare & cook broccoli perfectly without losing healthy nutrients!

[@marcipomeroy5433]

Thank you Sophie! I had no idea about the health benefits with cutting and waiting 30 min to cook!

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I know, it's amazing right? Such important information!

[@roseladd6402]

💌Thank you for the tips! I cook broculli all the time but I had not heard about chopping at least 30 minutes ahead of cooking. Steaming is my favorite way to cook veggies esp. broculli, I think it is the best!

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I'm so glad you saw this video, Rose!

[@rawrevelations8971]

Your information is invaluable! Thank You! Where do you suggest certification in Holistic Nutrition? Where did you get your training?

[@ashleywilliams9738]

I want the same answer I wana do holistic nutrition

[@marilynhill1528]

I have never heard of this necessity of chopping to stimulate anti oxidants 30 minutes before cooking. Extremely valuable. Thankvyou.

[@kimb7535]

I love broccoli & always cook it in a Chinese bamboo steamer. I love to eat with olive oil, chilli flakes & pan roasted cashew nuts for crunch.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Great topping ideas:)

[@patriciastone6389]

great informative video Sophie ! I had no idea about the benefits of chopping cruciferous veggies before hand ! I own two of 360 cookware pans and bought a third for a gift ! I too use the 1 quart everyday ! Thank You for all your videos,I enjoy each and everyone 👏💕

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Patricia - I'm so glad you liked the information and that you love your 360 Cookware. Seriously, this line changed my life.

[@Helmholtzwatson1984]

Would chewing not release the sulforaphane? It must be like garlic, ive heard the same about that.

[@moonstone4475]

Thank you Sophie, this is very useful information. Do all crucifers release this nutrient when chopped early?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

yes they do!

[@makaylahollywood3677]

What about red cabbage, isn't it better not to chop into small pieces? I use my Le Crueset coated cast iron dutch oven; works great

[@lindar6151]

Thank you so much for this video. I eat broccoli many times a week as it is a favorite of mine. I would like to buy the 1 qt. pan. Where is the link to the cookware site?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I saw you found it Linda, but I'm so glad you're on board with broccoli!

[@mariaborracci733]

Good morning Sophie thank you for the information to cook broccoli I bought 2 of those pan wen the were on sale that you recommended I love it I will like to buy the big one wen they go on sale and I will cook the broccoli 🥦 like you thank you so much for have a blessed week 😍

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

The 3-quart is on sale now. Grab it before it goes back to the higher price!

[@lindar6151]

Never mind. Found it and ordered it. Thank you!

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I'm so glad, Linda!

[@slivy4402]

What was that piece u discarded? U said sometime that happens with organic broccoli. What was wrong with that piece ?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I think it was just a bit that was bad!!!

[@aracelyrosillo1817]

Love the video! Does broccoli still retain its nutrients if it is cooked in the oven?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

yes - and I LOVE roasted broccoli

[@angelreed9825]

Sophie Sophie Sophie I can't tell you how I enjoyed this video even though it was an old video the information was great I am going to put it into play ASAP and I will be purchasing The cookware And I am looking forward to never have having to buy another set of cookware again ha Hahaha wen great off track u put me right back on thank you so much

[@jplug90]

Any tips on how to clean broccoli properly? Was hoping to see it included in this video. I've done warm salt water for 15 mins, or even distilled vinegar and water in room temp for 15, just dont know what's proper..🤯

[@mariapagani1214]

Hi! Do we have to leave 30 min every green?

[@michellemaldonado2270]

Is the organic already chopped broccoli in a bag that you steam in the microwave going to still be nutritious? I'm surprised that gas is not a problem for you with eating broccoli everyday. Thank you for your videos, very educational and pleasant.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Honestly, Michelle, I would chop the broccoli again and let it sit for the 30, even if you're just chopping off a bit at the end. And my stomach has adjusted to the amount of fiber, so while yes, everyone has gas, I don't feel it so severely!

[@lindajohnson4717]

Thank you this is SO smart & Love your Necklace!!! where can I get one ??

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

My husband bought it for me ages ago. I think it may be Cartier (ouch!!!)

[@tishacarr988]

What about freezing after chopping and cooking?

[@mariefalk5176]

good video but I think you should also talk about is how too much DHA on a vegan diet can thinner the blood and give one stroke.I am vegan but just found this in OKRAW video and DR Rick dina talk about eat both are vegans. And Dr Greger on nutrion.org talk about vegans get shrinking brains.He is vegan himself.And that they should take a supplement with DHA & EPA

[@user-fu6cl2qw4d]

so after chopping and need to wait for 30 minutes before cooking? thats something new to know

[@pattidoyle5102]

Hi Sophie! I have been dehydrating healthy, plant based meals to take backpacking. Will broccoli lose it’s cancer fighting properties if I dehydrate it?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

no- but chop and wait for 30 minutes before dehydrating.

[@eileenbevacqui8190]

Good info, but does everthng have to be a commercial;?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I only recommend products that have made my life easier and my health better.

[@eileenbevacqui8190]

I"m sure it's a really good product, but it almost comes off as a sales pitch.

[@nazeeniranfar2616]

Hi Sophie, thank you for all the tips 😃 does 360 cookware ship to U.K. ? I just went on their site and they only seem to do U.S.A! Any suggestions?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Try emailing calling, Nazeen! Maybe they can make an exception! 877-360-8276

[@joelleaittama1416]

I keep burning my broccoli with my 360 🤔. I think it’s because I rinse and drain the water as the book they provide states. I will add more water as you’ve shown here. Thanks.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Yep - you need a little more water, and make sure you turn down the heat to really LOW

[@joelleaittama1416]

Thank you Sophie. I think I was also cooking with heat too high. The broccoli was still better than any other cooking method. I took advantage of your discount last time, and really appreciate it. 😊 Have a great day!

[@ashleywilliams9738]

I didn't noe there were two types Brocolli okay

[@ashleywilliams9738]

I have a food chopper saves time

[@rhiconic]

Do you know that there are more nitrates in Broccoli by the ten fold than bacon.

Interesting technique. I usually stream by broccoli

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

If you do, just make sure you chop it 30 or so minutes prior

This should help Trader Joe’s sales as theirs are sold pre-chopped.

[@marshabalderrama8903]

Thank you Sophie, I just cooked broccoli in my pressure cooker in 2 minutes, and it went too far. Yuck! Way too soft. I just ordered the 1 at. And the 3 at. Yea!

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I know - it's GROSS when over-cooked, right?

[@JohannaZee]

Okay what's up with the claim that you don't need any water?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

To be honest, Johanna, I always add a bit of water, because I want MORE steam so my veggies/grains cook faster.

[@dudleyhardial2273]

I steam my Broccoli with the Microwave without water. I put chopped broccoli in a glass bowl with a glass lid and microwave between 2 and 3 mins depending on the amount I am steaming.

[@ChiaraUsher2010]

If ya'll don't have the special pan that is being advertised all throughout this video, like me, you may want to move on and not waste 20 minutes of your time. If you do have this pan, this is your video.

Sophie, you're beautiful. I am going follow some of your advise, but I can't be vegan. I've tried before but failed once I see a nice piece of pound cake.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I completely understand, Claire. It's hard with so many temptations out there. For me, being plant-based feels better than ANY pound cake tastes. Keep trying, it's not about being perfect, it's about making progress!!

I've been collecting the 360 cookware after taking advantage of your previous offers. I now have quite a collection. I just added the 3 qt. with this special and a jelly roll pan, only to realize I already had one of their pans (I can always use 2 as they're small). I love their chopper device that is one of Oprah's favorite things. ;D Thanks for all the info you provide. I've been chopping up all of my cruciferous veggies but never waited 30 minutes.
