Broccoli is rich in many vitamins and minerals.
If you use real crab, be cautious of crab shell.

If you use canned real crab, carefully break apart the crab in a glass bowl and gently run your fingers through the crab meat to break it apart and ensure there are no shell pieces.

If using canned, shredded crab, reduce cooking time slightly as it will cook faster than strips or pieces.
