Boost Immunity with Broccoli Bread

The Secret Broccoli Keeps

Vitamin C - Boosts immunity
Vitamin K - Supports bone health
Vitamin B9 (Folate) - Helps cell repair
Sulforaphane - Anti-inflammatory & supports fat metabolism

Most Cook It The Wrong Way

Cooking can destroy up to 50% of nutrients unless you do this :

  1. Chop & let it rest for 10–15 mins before cooking (helps sulforaphane form)
  2. Steam lightly instead of boiling (preserves Vitamin C)
  3. Bake with raw mustard seeds (optional) (½ tsp crushed seeds adds an enzyme that reactivates sulforaphane, even after heat)

Pro tip :

  1. Want even more sulforaphane? Serve with a dollop of raw pesto, kimchi, or mustard sauce.
  2. Store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy warm or cold.

Just a simple preparation to get going :

  1. Broccoli (~250g)
  2. 3 eggs
  3. 90g wholewheat flour
  4. 1 tsp baking powder
  5. ½ tsp salt & pepper
  6. ½–1 tsp mustard powder / crushed mustard seeds
  7. Pumpkin seeds for topping

Step by Step Guide :

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
  2. Chop the broccoli into small florets, or process in a food processor until fine.
  3. Let the broccoli sit for 10–15 minutes to allow sulforaphane to form.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then add flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Fold in the rested broccoli.
  6. Optional: Stir in crushed mustard seeds if using.
  7. Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the mixture, smoothing the top.
  8. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and set.
  10. Cool for 5–10 minutes. If using mustard powder, sprinkle on top or mix into a light olive oil drizzle.
