Although protein is not the primary nutrient in broccoli, its protein content is relatively high compared to other vegetables. Specifically, every 100 grams of fresh broccoli florets contains approximately 3.5–4.5 grams of protein—about three times that of cauliflower and four times that of tomatoes. While this amount is lower than that found in high-protein foods such as meat and fish, broccoli’s protein—combined with its rich array of vitamins and minerals—provides the human body with multiple essential nutrients. In daily diets, moderate consumption of broccoli plays an important role in maintaining overall health.
