George Our Oil-Free Vegan Stir-Fry is amazingly easy and quick to prepare! Its all-natural ingredients (cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, mushrooms, corn and bamboo shoots) are cooked in a delicious mixture of coconut milk and peanut butter.

Let’s talk a little about the benefits of broccoli:
Broccoli is an all-star food with many health benefits. While low in calories, broccoli is rich in essential vitamins and minerals, in addition to fiber. A cup of cooked broccoli offers as much vitamin C as an orange, and is a good source of beta-carotene. Broccoli contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc too.
Broccoli is a great source of vitamins K and C, a good source of folate (folic acid) and also provides potassium and fiber (extracted from healthyeating.org)
Vitamin K – essential for the functioning of many proteins involved in blood clotting
Vitamin C – builds collagen, which forms body tissue and bone, and helps cuts and wounds heal. It’s a powerful antioxidant and protects the body from damaging free radicals.
Fiber – diets high in fiber promote digestive health. A high fiber intake can also help lower cholesterol.
Potassium – a mineral and electrolyte that is essential for the function of nerves and heart contraction.
Folate – is necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells in the body.
The benefits of cauliflower are also outstanding (extracted from draxe.com):
Cauliflower is one of the healthiest foods on Earth, and there is good reason why. With its rich supply of health-promoting phytochemicals, high level of anti-inflammatory compounds, and ability to ward off cancer, heart disease, brain disease and even weight gain, it seems there isn’t much cauliflower is unable to do.
Cauliflower is so beneficial due to its special combination of phytochemicals called carotenoids, tocopherols and ascorbic acid — all forms of antioxidants currently being extensively researched in order to understand more about how they keep the body healthy.
Due to recent search, cauliflower is now highly correlated with preventing chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders and various forms of cancers, just to name a few.
