Broccoli boasts health benefits with vitamin C and calcium, but claims comparing it to oranges and milk need nuance. While broccoli offers vitamin C, oranges may have more depending on serving size and variety. Broccoli has less calcium than milk and its absorption is affected by oxalates. Nutrient absorption in general depends on various factors. A balanced diet with mindful food choices is key to optimize nutrient intake from broccoli and individual needs should be considered.
