Broccoli
is broccoli.
We don't rank fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, plain milk, or eggs. They're ingredients, not products. There's nothing to compare: no additives, no NOVA-4 outliers, no dough conditioner.
Every item on this list scores 100. Buy whichever looks good.

Eat it raw, eat it whole
Cook lightly
Steam or roast briefly. Heavy processing strips nutrients faster than light cooking.
Pair with a clean dip
Sliced and raw works for most fresh produce — try with a NOVA-3 or better dip from our hummus ranking.
Skip the pre-prep aisle
Pre-cut, pre-washed, pre-flavoured versions usually pick up additives and preservatives. Whole is fastest in the long run.

Frozen, canned, or pre-prepped versions do get scored — that's where additives sneak in.
