Pan-Steamed Broccoli

Pan steaming is the easiest and fastest way to cook broccoli. Period. Broccoli contains almost as much calcium as milk and delivers more vitamin C than an orange. It also contains vitamins K and A and is an excellent source of dietary fiber, folate, riboflavin, iron, potassium, manganese, and phosphorous. But wait, there's more! Some very special antioxidants are also on tap that can jump-start what's called phase-2 detoxification enzymes, which have the power to flush potentially harmful free radicals from your body, and that qualifies broccoli as a bona-fide super food.
