A Legacy of the Mediterranean Diet.
Studies of the diets of the people of the 15 countries
that surround the Mediterranean Sea show they have some of the longest
life expectancies in the world. Their diet, rich with dark leafy
vegetables, fruits, grains, olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic and wine
included just very moderate servings of red meat. Fish and poultry
served with plenty of vegetables made up the Mediterranean feast.
Broccoli Rabe has always been part of the Mediterranean diet. It
is a great source for Indol-3-carbinol, a mighty anti-oxidant. It’s
