Nutritious Broccoli Sprouts, Great for Storable Food

Munching on fresh organic broccoli sprouts can help protect your stomach from the germ responsible for many cases of gastritis, ulcers, and stomach cancer, and supply you with a wide range of nutrients.

Certified organic broccoli seeds have just recently become popular after the discovery that they contain the amazing cancer-fighting phytochemical, sulforaphane.

According to researchers from Johns Hopkins University, eating just a few ounces of broccoli sprouts each day can significantly reduce your risk of developing ulcers and stomach cancer. The researchers also found that inflammation levels in the stomach were reduced by consumption of broccoli sprouts.

Broccoli’s protective benefit comes from its high levels of sulphoraphane. In addition to functioning as an antibiotic, this chemical stimulates the body to produce a number of enzymes with different health benefits. Prior research has shown that some of these enzymes protect the skin from sun damage, while others act to reduce inflammation and prevent heart disease.

Recently, an extract made from broccoli sprouts has been found to boost your body’s natural ability to defend against the ultraviolet solar rays that cause skin cancer, reveals an article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. If a sunscreen product could be developed from the extract, it could provide key advantages over typical sunscreens lotions, not recommended since they contain numerous cancer-causing chemicals.

Studies have shown that broccoli sprouts contain 50 times more sulforaphane than fresh broccoli. What’s more, sprouting broccoli seeds contain glucosinolates and isothiocyanates, substances that keep your cells from becoming malignant, at one hundred times greater levels than in fresh broccoli.

Since the first findings on the cancer protective effects of sulforaphane were published in 1992, an outpouring of scientific work has shown that these compounds from broccoli and broccoli sprouts can play an important role in enhancing the body’s own natural protection mechanism against chronic disease.

In addition, organic broccoli seeds are sources of plant estrogens, similar to human estrogen, and are helpful in cases of PMS, menopause, hot flashes and fibrocystic disease. Nutrient dense, sprouting broccoli seeds are rich sources of vitamins A, B, C, E and K, anti-oxidants, the minerals calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. They also contain carotene, chlorophyll, amino acids, trace elements and antioxidants. Organic broccoli seed sprouts are a great source of protein as they contain as much as 35% protein.
