BROCCOLI

[Richard Crowe]

When I was a kid, I hated broccoli but, now I love it - either cooked or raw in a salad.  I dropped a piece when I was preparing a salad the other day and my dogs went crazy over it.  So now I add it to the kibble topping I give them.  Brocolli has lots of vitamins and minerals.

 

My kibble topping consists of...

London Broil

Yams or sweet potatoes

Carrots

Pineapple - seems to keep any rescues from eating poop

 

I cook these ingredients in a slow cooker for a long long time and then puree the mixture in a Cuisinart Food Processor.  However, I now toss a couple of handfuls of brocolli flowers into the processor before I puree the mixture I add the raw brocolli after I cook the ingredients so as to etain the vitamins The dogs go crazy for it and the color is really not bad.  I expected a slimy green but, it is the food's regular color with pieces of green throughout!

Cooper used to love broccoli and carrots but went off them. I gave my inlaws dog some, and monkey see monkey do, Cooper wanted some too. She loves them again!!! Silly doodle

Sounds like a delicious brew.

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

Webber loves cooked broccoli, Seda not so much!  The meals at your house are clearly fancier than mine!!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

Knox loves broccoli, too! My DH thinks it's so strange, so I'll have to tell him it's not!!

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

Haley absolutely LOVES broccoli, any part of the plant.  We grow it in our vegetable garden and after I harvest the main heads if I don't keep an eye on Haley he will pull the whole plant out of the ground and eat the leaves and chew on the stalk and roots! 

[Pat and Traveler]

Hmmmmm...can I eat at your house?  London Broil, yams and broccoli...that would be a pricy dinner!! 

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

YUMMO!!!!

[J and Riley (and Luna)]

I wouldn't feed broccoli every day (it's toxic if given in large amounts if I remember correctly) - but as an occasional treat it would be very tasty and nutritious!

From what I just found - the culprit is the isothiocyanate in broccoli which can be a stomach irritant.  The sources I checked though said that it's only really a problem if it's more than 5-10% of the diet.
