Abstract: In this present investigation, study was carried out to determine physical and chemical composition of Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L.). The freshly harvested broccoli selected for evaluation of physical, chemical and mineral composition. Results obtained showed that color of broccoli was green, length was 111.14 mm, longest diameter was 144 mm and mean weight was observed to be 308.83 g. Further chemical and mineral composition was reported and results showed that moisture content found to be 86.36 %, carbohydrate 5.59 %, protein 4.89 %, Fat 0.37%. The mineral composition of broccoli showed iron 0.7 mg, zinc 0.4mg, calcium 47 mg and phosphorous 66 mg/100g respectively.
