- Broccoli contains more protein than steak
Former President George W Bush may have once famously proclaimed: “I’m president of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli,†but don’t listen to him!

And it doesn’t come with all those saturated and trans fats or cholesterol, so you can get all the protein you need with a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease with this healthy food.
