Foxy building up to We Love Broccoli Day with St. Broccoli Day
This year the Nunes Co. Inc. and Foxy Produce kept the green theme going after St. Patrick's Day with 'St. Broccoli Day' on March 18, which will lead up to National We Love Broccoli Day on Sunday, March 22.
The company is still celebrating St. Broccoli Day at www.StBroccoli.com, which presents an amusing origin story of St. Broccoli, as well as a variety of recipes.
Broccoli contains the highest amount of uber detox antioxidant, glucoraphanin, shown to increase the elimination of carcinogens in the body by 61 percent, according to a study by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Similarly, new organic BroccoLeaf — the leaves of broccoli — contains antioxidants and phytonutrients, which are powerful detoxifiers.
"When it comes to good nutrition, no one can or should be a saint every day," registered dietitian Ashley Koff said in a press release. "With spring breaking through, the day right after St. Patrick's Day is a great one to start spring cleaning your body. I always recommend organic broccoli and BroccoLeaf to my patients. No detox effort is as effective without it."
Koff will host a live Facebook chat on March 22 from 3–4 p.m. at www.Facebook.com/FoxyProduce, where she'll offer nutrition advice and suggest unique ways broccoli and organic BroccoLeaf can be prepared.
