“What is the best source of Sulforaphane?

The highest source of Sulforaphane is not the broccoli vegetable itself, it is actually the broccoli sprout, which is between 20-50 times higher in Sulforaphane than the mature vegetable. For this reason, Broccoli Sprouts have been actively researched as a source of the cell-protective bioactive compound, Sulforaphane. Are Cruciferous Vegetables Considered to be Important? Health authorities across the world encourage us to consume more vegetables, recommending at least 5 serves of vegetables daily plus 2 serves of fruit. Research shows that, of all vegetables, the cruciferous vegetables have the most protective effect against humans developing serious illness. The very valuable cruciferous vegetables like broccoli make up less than 1% of average consumption. When we select vegetables, we should regularly include this family of vegetables.
Why Not Just Eat More Broccoli?

You could do this and science has shown that individuals who consume the highest amounts of the vegetable are less likely to develop certain illnesses. However, in practice, many people simply don’t eat enough broccoli to make a difference. More importantly, cooking the broccoli destroys the Myrosinase enzyme so essential for the conversion to Sulforaphane. Because the broccoli sprout is so much more concentrated than the vegetable, only a small amount of the sprout is needed daily to achieve what a large amount of raw or lightly-steamed broccoli vegetable could do.

The powdered broccoli sprout provides a more consistent amount of the bioactive potential because it is produced using conditions to standardize it. The broccoli vegetable supplies unpredictable amounts due to the conditions in which the plant is grown, the time it is stored before consumption and the manner in which it is cooked. A more certain intake occurs when consuming a regular quantity of a premeasured”
