Carbs in Broccoli
Broccoli is a low-carb vegetable, making it a popular choice for keto and other low-carb diets. Here’s a breakdown of the carbohydrate content:
- Raw Broccoli: Approximately 6.64 grams of carbs per 100 grams (3.5 ounces).
- Net Carbs: After subtracting fiber, the net carbs are about 3.6 grams per 100 grams.
These values can vary slightly based on the exact type and preparation method of the broccoli, but it's generally considered a low-carb vegetable.
How to Select Broccoli
When selecting broccoli, look for the following qualities to ensure you get the freshest and tastiest bunch:
- Color: Choose broccoli with a deep green or purplish hue. The florets should be tight and compact. Avoid yellowing florets, as they indicate the broccoli is aging.
- Firmness: The stems should be firm and not limp. Gently squeeze the stalks—fresh broccoli should feel solid, not rubbery.
- Florets: The florets should be tightly packed. Loose, flowering, or mushy florets are signs of aging or poor quality.
- Leaves: If the broccoli still has leaves, they should be vibrant and green, not wilted or yellow.
- Smell: Fresh broccoli has a mild, earthy scent. Avoid any that has a strong or sour smell, as this could indicate spoilage.
