Sprouted Broccoli Increases Anti-Cancer Properties 50X

It's well known among health conscious consumers and holistic health practitioners that broccoli and other related cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, garden cress, bok choy, and brussels sprouts offer antioxidant protection against developing cancer. Micro-nutrients that protect against cancer, known as isothiocyanates, are high in broccoli. The most powerful isothiocyanate tumor stifling ingredient recently isolated from broccoli is known as sulforaphane.

The sprouts are more nutrient dense and contain up to 50 times or more of the amount of sulforaphane than normal broccoli.
