Broccoli calories and nutrition facts
100 grams of broccoli contains 34 calories, with 2.8 g of protein, 6.6 g of carbohydrate and 0.4 g of fat. It provides 2.6 g of fiber and 1.7 g of sugar per 100 g. Most of its calories come from carbohydrate.
Broccoli is what high-volume eating looks like: a whole cup of florets costs about as much as half a biscuit, with a respectable protein share for a vegetable. Steaming keeps the crunch and the numbers; a glug of oil in the roasting tin triples the plate's calories, not the broccoli's. The stalk is entirely edible and identical nutritionally.
