Broccoli Leaves

My nutrition professor says their the most nutritional part of the broccoli, so don't leave em out.

Edit: nutritional in terms of vitamen A. For vitamen C, it has the least.

Summary: leaves have the most vitamen A, then the flower, then the stalk. However, it terms of vitamen C, the order is reversed.
