A study presented in proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA,
indicates that broccoli, grown under the right conditions, contains sulforaphane
glucosinolate (SGS), a substance that may boost the body’s natural defense systems
against cancer and even kill cancer cells. But you would have to eat pounds of
broccoli to get enough SGS to be effective. Continued food research by John
Hopkins University, Baltimore, and the USDA, however, found that three-day-old broccoli
seedlings contain a concentrated amount of SGS -- 20 times the amount found in
broccoli -- so only an ounce provides the same benefits. Sold as BroccoSprouts,
the seedlings are grown under controlled conditions to ensure SGS content, and
can be used on salads, sandwiches and omelets for a “zingy” taste. They have been
patented by John Hopkins University, and 19 growers nationwide are licensed to
grow them.
