RM#2 Day 17 - Carrot Broccoli Fried Rice

Broccoli was developed in Italy and is well established as one of the major anti-cancer foods. Broccoli contains indoles, which can help inactivate harmful estrogens that can promote the growth of tumors, sulforaphane, which stimulates cells to produce cancer-fighting enzymes, and beta-carotene, another cancer fighter...Broccoli contains some 3% of protein and is one of the richest vegetable sources of calcium, iron and magnesium. Moreover, broccoli is very rich in vitamins A and C, exceeding even oranges in the concentration of the latter.Broccoli can be eaten raw in salads or with dips, or it can be steamed and eaten as is, or served with a light nut, or similar sauce.One of the health benefits of carrots is well known that the carrot is rich in beta-carotene, which the body stores and converts to vitamin A as it is needed.Vitamin A deficiency leads to poor vision...the age-old parental advice concerning the benefits of carrots to good vision can be scientifically supported...i prepared this masala rice with carrots n broccoli easily with simpe ingredients...kids will love this surely...
