Details
Description
Rich in vitamins, minerals and powerful phytochemicals, broccoli and broccoli sprouts are two of the healthiest foods you can eat. They contain two compounds – glucoraphanin and myrosinase – that combine to produce a unique compound called sulforaphane, a super-antioxidant that helps protect your cells, tissues and DNA from oxidative damage. Unfortunately, when you heat broccoli, it destroys the myrosinase. Our Organic Fermented Broccoli Sprouts is gently dried and powdered to preserve the myrosinase, glucoraphanin and all its other nutrients so you can enjoy the benefits of this powerful team.*

Glucoraphanin is a phytochemical (plant chemical) belonging to the group of glucosinolates, which are found mainly in cruciferous vegetables, while myrosinase is an enzyme.
When the two compounds come in contact with each other, the myrosinase converts the glucoraphanin into sulforaphane, a unique and powerful antioxidant that supports your cell health in a variety of ways. By consuming the whole broccoli plant and sprout, as in our Organic Fermented Broccoli Sprouts, you get both members of this sulforaphane-producing team.
