You might be wondering: why choose sprouts over mature broccoli? Let’s delve into the fascinating science behind this choice.

Nutrient Density

Broccoli sprouts are the early shoots of the broccoli plant, harvested just a few days after germination. Despite their small size, they are incredibly rich in nutrients compared to mature broccoli. They contain concentrated amounts of vitamins, minerals, and especially phytochemicals such as Sulforaphane.

 

Sulforaphane Content

Broccoli sprouts are renowned for their rich content of Glucoraphanin, which is significantly higher compared to mature broccoli. (learn more)


This compound is converted into Sulforaphane — a potent antioxidant and detoxifier — in the body. Research has shown Sulforaphane to have numerous health benefits, including:

Antioxidant Power: Sulforaphane helps combat oxidative stress, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. (learn more)

Liver Detoxification: It specifically supports phase II detoxification processes in the liver, where toxins are conjugated with molecules to make them easier to excrete. (learn more)

Balancing Gut Bacteria: Sulforaphane exhibits prebiotic-like effects, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. This balance in gut microbiota composition is essential for maintaining gut health and overall well-being. (learn more)

Bioavailability

The nutrients in broccoli sprouts, including Sulforaphane, are more bioavailable than those in mature broccoli. This means your body can absorb and utilise these nutrients more effectively.
