A new and genetically enhanced broccoli has now been officially declared the super hero of ‘super vegetables’. Yes, I know, I’m the one for broccoli and its benefits but hey, this is one miraculous veggie!!

This ‘booster broccoli’ is supposed to contain more anti-oxidants than the usual variety of broccoli. It tastes sweeter and has 40% more anti-oxidants than the regular broccoli and thus has a higher natural potential to reduce risks of heart disease and cancer.

The researches had tested over 400 varieties of broccoli before deciding on this particular one. As for myself, I did not know that even 400 varieties of broccoli exited on this planet…!!!

The breeding and cultivation of the ‘booster broccoli’ has been given a ‘thumbs up’ by scientists who hope that this broccoli will contribute towards improving the general health of people by improving the quality of vegetables grown.

I just hope they hurry up and find a super or booster potato so I can happily indulge in french fries….! Who here says ‘aye’..??
