Broccoli and strawberries have become increasingly popular in India despite not being native to the country. This trend is driven by factors like growing health consciousness, increased exposure to global cuisines, urbanisation, improved farming practices, and better supply chains. Broccoli, a cruciferous vegetable, offers numerous health benefits including being rich in vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, may help prevent cancer, lower blood sugar, improve heart and gut health, enhance brain function, and slow ageing.
