Description

New Research Finds High Levels Of Anti-Cancer Compounds in Broccoli Sprouts. Amazingly after 3 days sprouting, the compound Sulforaphane is between 10-100 times more concentrated in sprouting seed than in the mature vegetable - and it s a powerful blocking agent against cancer. Broccoli sprouts also contain Sinigrin which persuades the pre-cancerous cells to commit suicide. It is believed it has so powerful an effect that the occasional meal of young broccoli sprouts may destroy cancerous cells in the colon. They should always be eaten fresh with other salad vegetables, not cooked, and have a most pleasant tangy flavour. Full details supplied with each order.
