Broccoli Sprouts, A Delicious Sprout Variety High in Glucoraphanin
Broccoli sprouts contain a substance referred to as glucoraphanin, a precursor to the natural antioxidant detoxifying isothiocyanate called sulforaphane (
SGS), which is activated upon chewing. They are a nutritious and nutty tasting sprout variety first used in the
1970's, along with other raw sprouts, like alfalfa and wheatgrass. Although incorporated as a dietary food source among health conscious communities around the world, it wasn't until the early 90's that the sprouts became popular amid a more mainstream audience with scientific studies on the sprouts making news headlines. Learn more about their nutrional benefits and how to grow broccoli sprouts from broccoli seeds for fresh living produce.
