Broccoli sprouts are an excellent source of sulforaphane glucosinolate, a natural compound found in broccoli and other cruciferous plants that supports the body's antioxidant functions and may prevent abnormal cell growth. Broccoli sprouts and the SG they contain are among the most sources of dietary protection against abnormal cell growth, also obtained by eating:

• Allicin in garlic;
• Carotenoids in pumpkin, squash, and carrots; 
  
• Flavonoids in tea and berries 
  
• Isoflavones in soybeans; 
  
• Lignans in flax seed, and 
  
• Lycopene in tomatoes

SG is abnormal cell growth-protective by virtue of its action on the liver. The SG found in abundance in broccoli sprouts and in lesser concentrations in raw, steamed, and stir-fried broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, mustard, and watercress activates phase 2 detoxification enzymes that convert environmental toxins into water-soluble forms that can be removed by the kidneys. Three- day-old broccoli sprouts contain 20 times the concentration of sulforaphane glucosinolate found in mature broccoli. 
 
Broccoli seed is the source of broccoli sprouts, the most potent natural source of sulforaphane glucosinolate, a natural compound found in broccoli and other cruciferous plants that supports the body's antioxidant functions. Broccoli sprouts are added to salads, soups, pestos, pizzas, and wraps for flavor and texture. Try them as an addition to Greek salads, sun-dried tomato dishes, guacamole, tortilla soup (added just before serving), tofu, carrots, or as a side dish all on their own with a little vinaigrette. 
 
Also known as: Brassica olaracea, Wild Cabbage, and Cauliflower
