does broccoli have vitamin A or what?

the packages of frozen broccoli I buy say "0% Vitamin A," though CRON-O-METER says 454g of broccoli has 156% DV of Vit A.

Broccoli is sometimes the only green vegetable I consume in one day, so I'm a little concerned all of a sudden...

I think broccoli does have Vitamin A. According to the Nutrition Data web site 1 stalk of broccoli, 280 grams, has 87 percent of the recommended daily amount of Vitamin A.

All green plants have vitamin A due to the beta-carotene. It's most likely a typo.
I forum here cause I have no where else to go.
