"If you're looking for some protein in your vegetables, broccoli outcompetes cabbage. At 2.8 grams of protein per 100 grams, broccoli contains more protein than you might think. Green cabbage, on the other hand, only has about 1.3 grams of protein per 100 grams. So, broccoli has more than twice the protein of cabbage. In fact, broccoli is more nutrient dense all-around, with six times more vitamin A and twice as much vitamin C as cabbage."
"Broccoli is a surprisingly protein-rich veggie, but you'd have to eat quite a bit of it to fulfill your protein needs in a meal. Consequently, you should use broccoli as a supplemental protein. Chicken and broccoli are a tasty pairing. You can add chicken to a broccoli cheddar soup or broccoli to a chicken and rice soup, for example. If you're looking for protein that isn't chicken, whip up this simple sauteed broccoli dish to accompany a filet of fish or cut of steak."
Broccoli supplies about 2.8 grams of protein per 100 grams versus roughly 1.3 grams in green cabbage, making broccoli more than twice as protein-dense. Broccoli also delivers higher amounts of vitamin A, vitamin C, B vitamins, and most minerals including magnesium, calcium, iron, and zinc. Both vegetables are low in carbohydrates, high in fiber, and contain similar antioxidants such as sulforaphane. Cabbage appears in many varieties, offering broader flavor and texture options, lower cost, and a longer shelf life. Broccoli works well as a supplemental protein alongside chicken, fish, or steak in various recipes.
