Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and is closely related to cauliflower. Its cultivation originated in Italy. Broccolo, its Italian name, means “cabbage sprout.” Because of its different components, broccoli provides a range of tastes and textures, from soft and flowery (the floret) to fibrous and crunchy (the stem and stalk). Broccoli contains glucosinolates, phytochemicals which break down to compounds called indoles and isothiocyanates (such as sulphoraphane). Broccoli also contains the carotenoid, lutein. Broccoli is an excellent source of the vitamins K, C, and A, as well as folate and fiber. Broccoli is a very good source of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and the vitamins B6 and E.

How to roast crispy pumpkin seeds from a carved pumpkin, with garlic and salt. Easy tutorial by Nikka Ischelle

The seeds came out soooo delicious that I have to go and buy more pumpkins to make another batch for my family and friends! I used pumkin carving tools from the dollar store, a kitchen knife, and metal spoon to get a good scraping inside the pumpkin. The seeds were really easy to seperate from the squishy pulp inside too. I love the salty garlic flavor on the seeds, next time I’ll play around with different flavors. You may also use any kind of oil, I was out of olive so I used canola oil.
