Our bodies convert the beta-carotene in broccolini into vitamin A which promotes healthy skin (MiNDFOOD, 2020). The vegetable also contains vitamin C which helps with inflammation and heart health. Having a high fiber content, broccolini also helps without gut health by introducing healthy gut bacteria (MiNDFOOF, 2020).
