Default most nutritious cultivar of broccoli/cauliflower?

i like these two species because conventional wisom has it that they
produce the most nutrients per square foot of garden space.

Which cultivars are the champs at nutrient contents?

The other day, I ate at a "Ruth's Chris" steakhouse. The broccoli
sidedish, which by the way wasn't included with the steak, cost $8. BUT,
it was the sweetest broccoli I have ever tasted.

Is it possible that they _cheated_ somehow in preparing (it was steamed)
it, and artificially sweetened it?


How much butter was on it? Ruth's Chris soak their steaks with melted
butter, so it's not unlikely that their broccoli is covered with butter
also.
