Broccoli also contains the compound glucoraphanin, which turns into sulforaphane, which has been shown to be beneficial for cardiovascular health. Also included in Broccoli\'s many healthy attributes is the 3,3\'-Diindolylmethane compound, which research shows may be helpful to the pancreas. Numerous studies have also shown that Broccoli may help maintain overall health. *
 
A cruciferous vegetable, Broccoli derived its name from the Latin word “brachium” which means “branch” or “arm.” The Broccoli plant produces large, dark green flower heads that protrude from a thick center stalk. The heads, which are surrounded by narrow, darker green leaves, are harvested while they are compact and before they begin to flower. While the entire plant is edible, the tree-like heads are the components of the plant most often consumed.
