Sprouting

Broccoli Sprouts

Broccoli sprouts, a cruciferous vegetable, have recently become popular after researchers discovered that they abundant in sulforaphane, a phytochemical with tremendous health benefits. Researchers have observed that sulforaphane:
  • decreases inflammation
  • decreases oxidative stress
  • decreases DNA damage
  • prevents the activation, and conversion, of pro-carcinogens into carcinogens
  • promotes the detoxification of carcinogens
  • decreases cancer
  • improves glucose, insulin and lipid levels
  • increases immune system
  • reduces all-cause mortality
  • reduces cardiovascular disease mortality
  • reduces risk of stroke
  • reduces diabetes complications
  • reduces obesity
  • may treat autism
