Along with flavour, it is used in a lot of dishes (eg dal) as it is meant to reduce flatulence caused by those foods..eg lentils.

If cooked lightly, and quickly, just until it is bright green and tender-crisp, such as it is cooked here, or when steamed, broccoli retains its vitamins and mineral content.

It will have -all- of its vitamins present if eaten raw, but when lightly cooked, broccoli retains plenty of its nutritive value. Personally, since I don’t boil it to death, I eat my broccoli both cooked and raw, and don’t worry about nutrient loss.

I read somewhere that broccoli is not advised to be cooked. Is this right?
