Eating broccoli raw or cooked

There are people who really love broccoli but here in Ghana it's not as common and popular as okro is. Is it better to eat or raw or cooked? I've never tried it raw before. But what I do know is that when broccoli is prepared correctly, it is so good I want to eat the whole thing. Maybe because of the way it looks, it gives me the idea that it's healthy. But how healthy it is will be different based on whether you're eating raw or cooked.

For the cooked one, the nutrients in the broccoli have been changed a little bit but not by much. Some of the nutrients have been lost because of the heat.

The one I don't like is when its been cooked past the point of being edible and has been turned into mush on the plate. I had that experience of mushy broccoli at a small restaurant once. I couldn't touch it, I was eating everything else but the broccoli. When it doesn't look good you'll forget the health benefits of vegetables.

But I'll have to say that eating broccoli is a positive step in the right direction in trying to reach the goal of being healthy and obtaining the proper amount of nutrients for the body. Whether the broccoli is eaten raw or steamed you can bet that your body is going to receive something of value.
