This one food can reduce inflammation, aid liver detoxification, reduce cancer risk, improve cognitive function... what is it? Broccoli Sprouts! Read on to learn how to sprout it yourself at home
Hi Antonia, it's quite hard to quantify because the sulforaphane content in sprouts can vary depending on the seed type and growing conditions. For a healthy individual looking for prevention, I still would rather eat broccoli sprouts than to pop supplements every day - I feel like our bodies recognise and know what to do with food.... whereas mega doses of supplements may not actually be beneficial - but might be necessary if using it to treat conditions... hope that helps!
Literally wouldn't know what to do without them these days! 😁
Is there a certain amount needed to reap benefits? I have been putting about 1/3 c in my smoothies daily.

Thank you. Yes I always prefer foods first. And feel like I’ve noticed a difference with the amount I’m eating daily.
I know everyone is different, but how much do you eat daily?
around 1/3-1/2 cup…
I also love, broccoli sprouts! They are so easy to grow and so easy to mix in with any salad, sandwich, chili…
