The health benefits of broccoli microgreens are unbelievable considering their tiny size. They can contain up to 40 times the levels of nutrients by weight compared to adult broccoli.
What are broccoli microgreens? It is actually a phase in a plant’s life when it is between 10 and 14 days old. During this stage, sulforaphane, one of the plant’s natural compounds peaks.
This compound is also present in a few other cruciferous vegetables like Bok choy, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale. However, broccoli is one of the foods highest in sulforaphane; particularly at the sprout and microgreen stages.
Let’s take a look at some of the health benefits of broccoli microgreens and sulforaphane.
1. Sulforaphane Has Anti-Cancer Properties
Many test-tube studies and animal studies have confirmed the anti-cancer properties of sulforaphane.
Sulforaphane works in several ways to against cancer, including reducing the number and size of various types of cancer cells and making it harder for cancer cells to multiply.
Sulforaphane also facilitates the release of antioxidants and detoxifying enzymes that neutralize known cancer-causing elements such as benzene. It binds to a protein within the cells and in the process catalyzes the production of enzymes that help the cells resist toxic and carcinogenic substances.
2. Supports Cardiovascular Health
One of the major causes of cardiovascular diseases and complications is inflammation. Inflammation of the arteries can cause narrowing of the vessels leading to high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries.
Results from animal and test-tube studies suggest that sulforaphane contains anti-inflammatory properties. This compound activates a protein known as Nrf2 that prevents the endothelial cells (the cells that line your arteries), from triggering inflammation.
In a 2009 study commissioned by the British Heart Foundation Cardiovascular Sciences Unit, it was found that activation of Nrf2 may prevent or reduce atherosclerosis
