produce the most nutrients per square foot of garden space.

Which cultivars are the champs at nutrient contents?


Check this out

They mention that there seem to be trade-offs between productivity and
other qualities of commercial cultivars of vegetables including
broccoli but don't list the cultivars. It is handy however as it
suggests that studies of such do exist. If you want to follow it up I
would search the USDA or the Journal of American College of Nutrition
who published the paper.


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?


Yes, quite possible.
