A coffee shop in Melbourne, Australia has launched a "broccoli coffee latte". Would you like to try it?

Australians do not eat enough vegetables.

A recent report by the Australian Federal Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, CSIRO) and the non-profit Australian Horticultural Innovation Agency (Horticulture Innovation) pointed out that 51 per cent of Australian adults do not eat enough fruit every day, and more than 2/3 of people do not eat enough vegetables.

It takes only two tablespoons to meet the amount of vegetables for a day.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient vegetable intake among Australians, they have developed a "broccoli powder", which can meet the daily vegetable intake of only 2 tablespoons at a time, while the Australian government recommends that the daily amount of fruits and vegetables for adults is 5muri and seven servings of fruits and vegetables.

John Lloyd, chief executive of the Australian Horticultural Innovation Agency, said: "the study shows that the average daily amount of fruits and vegetables eaten by Australians is still less than the recommended daily intake, and broccoli powder can help solve this problem."

Preemptively launch "broccoli coffee latte" to test the water temperature

In Melbourne, Australia, a Commonfolk coffee shop has launched a "broccoli coffee latte" to see if the market response to this "broccoli powder" is good.

Broccoli is not broccoli!

Broccoli (broccoli) looks a lot like "green" cauliflower (cauliflower), but they are actually two kinds of vegetables that have evolved and branched out from wild cabbage.

Usually, we often eat broccoli with differentiated buds, but cauliflower eats undifferentiated tissue. Common cauliflower bulbs are white, purple, clear yellow and other colors.

Line up the standing seedlings of broccoli. The R & D team noticed the high nutritional value of broccoli and decided to make broccoli into powder.

It's up to you, broccoli.

Mary Ann Augustin, a researcher at CSIRO, said that after the report was released, the next step in their mind was to develop powders that would supplement their daily vegetable intake.

Broccoli is rich in vitamins C, K, A, B6 and folic acid, as well as minerals such as magnesium and potassium, which is a good dietary fiber. The research team immediately noticed that broccoli was the ingredient they were looking for.

The appearance is not good-looking, but the flavor is still the same, and the nutrition is full.

Another reason they chose broccoli was that they found that many fruits and vegetables that did not look so beautiful were discarded long before they were put on the shelves.

But although these NG fruits and vegetables are not so good-looking in appearance, as long as they are squeezed into vegetable juice to drink, they still have the same flavor and full nutrition.

The production process uses a whole piece of broccoli

Broccoli powder is made with a whole piece of broccoli, from the stem to the floret, just like the usual main course. Before drying and grinding broccoli into powder, broccoli is treated in a special way to ensure that the powder can maintain the color, flavor and nutrition of broccoli.

Powder increases added value and makes farmers profitable.

"this powder will be a profitable option for farmers who want to increase the added value of fruits and vegetables in the function-oriented food market," Augustine said. "

"this powder is easy to eat and can be added to almost all foods purchased by consumers" and "it (broccoli powder) makes it easy for consumers to reach the recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables."

"this is the trend of emerging food."

John Said, chief executive of Fresh Select, a broccoli company, said: "I personally think this project is an emerging food trend." Australians do not eat enough vegetables, and Australian farmers can also take this opportunity to increase farm production and change the market sustainably. Broccoli can also contribute to a healthier lifestyle! "

Add a coffee latte full of broccoli powder

Commonfolk Cafe's "broccoli coffee latte" is made by first adding full broccoli powder to a steel cup of broccoli, then pouring milk into the cup and then mixing espresso with this cup of "broccoli hot steamed milk". Add a little broccoli as a garnish to finish the cup of broccoli coffee latte.

Broccoli powder can be made in a variety of ways.

In addition to broccoli coffee lattes, the R & D team also pointed out that things like smoothies, soy sauce, soups and muffins are also good choices.

"We made some snacks for the children to eat with this [broccoli powder], and they like it, and so do their parents," Augustine said. "

Now it's a coffee shop, Internet restrictions.

Although the broccoli powder can only be sold on the Internet except in the Commonfolk Cafe, it should be officially available in the near future.
