Broccoli Sprouts Fight Cancer

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered that 3-day old broccoli sprouts have exceptionally high amounts of a natural cancer-fighting compound. Dr. Paul Talalay and his colleagues, have been researching this for over 20 years, and they have concluded that some varieties of vegetables such as broccoli contain high amounts of a substance called ’sulforaphane’ which helped support antioxidants, such as vitamins C and vitamin E.

They have found that these 3-day-old sprouts contain 20 to 50 times the amount of this cancer fighting element than mature broccoli. These organic sprouts can be used in soups, sandwiches, and salads not only to add nutrition, but also to add great flavor.
