Remarks of Broccoli with Carrots:

Carrots are a rich source of carotene. The nutrient absorption of carrot carotene can be boosted by eating with foods containing oil such fried carrots and tempura dishes.

When preparing broccoli, boil it for 2 to 3 minutes. Boiling broccoli longer than this can result in a drastic reduction of nutritional value. In particular water soluble vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C get drawn out of the broccoli into the broth it makes.
