🥦Broccoli VS. Broccoli Sprouts: Which is better for you?
- Broccoli sprouts contain 10 to 100 times more of sulforaphane than mature broccoli! Sulforaphane activates Nrf2 pathways, regulating antioxidant genes, reducing inflammation, and even inhibiting cancer cell growth.
- In a steamed half-cup serving, broccoli dishes up over 1,000 I.U. of vitamin A, 58 mg of vitamin C, 36 mg of calcium, and 1.4 micrograms of selenium. Meanwhile, broccoli sprouts offer about half the vitamin A and a third of the vitamin C.
- Broccoli sprouts boast nearly 38 micrograms of vitamin
K per serving, while broccoli only contains 0.4 micrograms.
- Broccoli steals the spotlight when it comes to chlorophyll content.
🥦Our verdict? Why choose when you can enjoy both! And better yet, learn how to grow your own sprouts at home so you can access the power of sulforaphane easily and affordably.
