Not knowing why other people hate the test of it,After listening lost of bad reviews regarding the bad test of Broccoli's I finally cooked a broccoli recipe and tested it.damm the test of it is really bad.This is actually my personal test experience obviously.I think many people(Including me) have only eaten after it's been boiled.or somehow we over burnt it.and then it tastes really bad and smells worse.

But recently, I came across a study about broccoli and that inspired me to give broccoli another chance.
