Urban Eden Farm - Broccoli Shoots. 30G.

In the late '90s, researchers at Johns Hopkins University realised that, at this stage, the sprouts have higher concentrations of good-for-you chemicals than mature broccoli.

Studies consistently confirm that diets rich in cruciferous vegetables are linked to a decreased risk for chronic diseases, like cardiovascular disease and cancer. That's most likely because cruciferous vegetables like arugula, broccoli, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, and wasabi all contain compounds that have anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing, and possibly cancer-fighting effects.

Dr. Cooperstone says they contain — "sulphoraphanes" — that are especially potent, she says. There's evidence to suggest that sulphoraphane can prevent DNA damage that leads to cancer, and in studies on mice, sulphoraphane seems to prevent inflammation that can lead to neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease.

Mild in taste but very good for you, evidently.
