Mold Detox Friendly Steamed Broccoli with Butter
Steamed broccoli with butter is one of those dishes that proves simple food can be genuinely satisfying — bright green florets, a glossy coat of melted butter, and a little sea salt is really all you need. When you're navigating a mold detox protocol, keeping ingredients clean and minimal matters enormously, and this recipe delivers exactly that. Broccoli is a powerhouse vegetable that supports the body's natural detox pathways, and steaming it preserves both its color and its nutrients far better than boiling. The butter adds richness without any of the fermented, aged, or processed ingredients that can be problematic on this kind of eating plan. A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley scattered over the top brings a pop of brightness and pairs beautifully with the savory, buttery florets. It comes together in just a few minutes and works as a side dish for almost any clean protein you have on hand.
