Hola! The new and fit world!! The title of this article does sound like ‘batman vs superman” but is this really so? One start thinking of two and for a similar shape, is there anything else other than that which are similar or superior? Let’s start to compare our desi 'Gobhi' to this angrezi sabzi ‘Broccoli’: -
ORIGIN: - as we can see both are flower vegetable n consist of clustered florets. Our ‘Phool Gobhi’ is obviously locally grown and Broccoli was cultivated in Italy in ancient Roman times. Now it’s available widely in Indian market too n almost dominated our Phool Gobhi. Thanks to exotic love of our Indian people.
Health benefits of both
Our desi gobhi n angrezi broccoli both have more or less similar health benefits. In the run of health benefit no one is behind. They both r capable of saving us from: -

Nutrient facts
Both broccoli n cauliflower has many good nutrients. They both are rich in calcium, vitamin A, C, K, minerals, fiber. Both are a full meal with low calories. Both have similar amount of protein, although neither of them is great source of it. Both of them have good iron, magnesium, zinc and folate. Though broccoli has little more calcium than cauliflower but all other nutrient are almost same or the difference is negligible.
Now tell me why broccoli why not cauliflower?
So quite a few obvious differences between the two, so why even bother to compare? If we see both are more or less similar in health benefits. When we truly start to understand the glory of a food [cooked/uncooked] the journey to forever beyond this body lifetime, begins. Most of us Indian spend our life time to chase angrezi sabziyan.

After reading all above I guess my readers must have understood that our ‘phool gobhi’ has almost all the benefits same as broccoli has.
