Broccoli apple bean seed grain: 20080814b
3 ounces broccoli
1/8 cup dried soybeans
  or 2 tablespoons bean flour
2 ounces apple
  or 1 tablespoon apple powder
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
2 tablespoon 30 percent added oil non roasted sunflower seed butter
1 eighth teaspoon celery powder
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoon canola oil 
1 pinch salt

Remove the bulk of the tough skin, if any, from 3 ounces broccoli.
 
Chop the broccoli into 3/8 inch pieces and put it into a high speed one cup blender.
 
Add to the blender:
2 tablespoons sunflower seed butter,
2 teaspoons sugar,
2 teaspoons oil, and
3 tablespoons water.
 
Run until smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes.
 
If necessary, repeatedly lift the blender 1 quarter inch and drop it down against the counter to jar the mixture into the path of the cutting blades.
 
Repeat until flow starts.
 
Put the puree in a mixing and/or portion bowl and add:
2 tablespoons bean flour,
1 tablespoon apple powder powder,
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour,
1 eighth teaspoon celery powder, and
1 pinch salt.
 
Mix until uniform.
 
Dump the bean/basil/flour/water mixture onto a plate.
 
Form the mixture into a flattened ring about a 1/2 inch thick with a 2 to 3 inch diameter hole at the center. Heat the donut shaped batter in a 1000 watt microwave for 5 minutes 20 seconds on full power for a moderately firm consistency.
 
------------------------------------------
Math:
7 and 3 eighths ounces X 20 plus 20 for plate plus 46 X 3.3 ounces moisture.
Heat 5 minutes 50 seconds on full power for drier, somewhat firmer texture.
7 and 3 eighths ounces X 20 plus 20 for plate plus 58 X 3.3 ounces moisture
------------------------------------------
 
Let the cake cool and firm for several minutes.
 
Mildly sweet, slightly sharp, just a little chewy, increasing heat time enough to get a dry biscuit-like texture easily results in scorching, so do not heat more than 5 minutes 50 seconds.

Small quantities of broccoli can be eaten without cooking. Raw broccoli is crunchier, chewier, has a sharper flavor, and I suppose has more of some vitamins. Raw broccoli is good with chopped walnuts and oil. Just chop the broccoli into smaller pieces to give it better mouth feel. Double the oil to make the taste milder. Perhaps cut down the portion size to less than the amount of cooked broccoli you would eat . In general the digestive system is able to deal with smaller amounts of raw vegetables.
