This frittata is a good way to include some more broccoli in your diet. All the cruciferous vegetables contain cancer-fighting properties but broccoli , in particular, seems to offer the most protection. It contains compounds that stop cancer cells from dividing and are able to kill abnormal cells. If you’re not convinced of the health benefits of broccoli you can use any seasonal vegetables that you might have growing in the garden or want to use up out of your fridge.
