And now let’s talk about a lot of crap , especially for us Italians: a team of Australian researchers would have developed a recipe for Cisro, the Australian government scientific agency, to ensure that you eat more vegetables during the day , but the result definitely leaves something to be desired . This is broccoli coffee. According to the researchers, it would not only be healthy, but it would help weight loss thanks to the broccoli powder, strongly antioxidant and rich in vitamins and mineral salts in a more concentrated form (vitamin B6, manganese, vitamin K and E, fiber), and also rich in of protein. You got it right, you are not dreaming.

Take a coffee (American or espresso) and put two tablespoons of broccoli powder in it, freeze-dried powder. I had it (Dcomedieta has it all, guys) and I tried it for you. It is exactly as expected: undrinkable. In addition to having a color between mouse gray and black, it seems to be drinking mud. My husband refused to taste and told me that science is okay, but I’m crazy. I was unable to drink it all, let’s talk about less than half a glass, obtained by first mixing two tablespoons of broccoli powder in a little water, and then adding the bitter espresso coffee. I think I managed to take two sips in all. I don’t think that with American coffee the result is more decent.

The point is: let’s also say that the broccoli coffee gives us an extra help in losing weight thanks to its antioxidants , let’s say, but do we really have to get to put the broccoli powder in the coffee? Can you imagine how bad it tastes? Eh, it’s worse than that, believe me. And in fact the web went wild: thousands of sarcastic tweets and others of disgusted people who, like me, wanted to try it to get hurt or because they love science. And other scientists who argue instead: the powdered broccoli concentrate does not give any more benefits than a nice serving of fresh vegetables. So if you don’t eat vegetables, just learn to eat them point that is better.
In addition to broccoli coffee, there are those who suggest broccolatte: broccolatte would be a latte to which two tablespoons of broccoli powder are always added. The Commonfolk Cafe in Australia serves it on the menu. Thanks to the milk we go from mud to greenish color, as you can see from their very proud photo . My espresso machine also makes latte, but this time I don’t dare try it so as not to get a divorce.
