Healing Power of Broccoli

Broccoli Scientists have known for some time that broccoli contains many healing compounds, including glucoraphanin, which protect our cells by stimulating a whole array of detoxifying enzymes. They are also anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-fungal. Recent research has demonstrated that young broccoli sprouts (at day 3) contain the most glucoraphanin, (20-50 times more than mature plants,) which are very beneficial. So, if one of your broccoli plants goes to seed, collect the seed, dry it out and add it to the list of seeds you sprout: mung beans, alfalfa and so on.
