Broccoli Seeds

Product Description

Sprouts from Broccoli seeds have been popular for several decades, but it’s only recently that scientists discovered the exceptional health benefits offered by them. The research into the positive effects of broccoli sprouts is still going, and new amazing effects are discovered on a regular basis.

As all the other sprouts, the ones you grow from broccoli seeds are highly nutritious and therefore are good for you by default. However, some of the active elements they contain have truly outstanding effects on your body, especially on the growth of cancer cells. According to the reports from John Hopkins University, broccoli sprouts contain a huge amount of glucoraphanin. This is a phytochemical that can efficiently fight cancer. Note that sprouts contain a much higher level of this element than mature broccoli plants.

Health Benefits

• Fighting cancer.
  According to the studies conducted on both animals and humans by various renowned medical research institutions, broccoli sprouts contain elements that effectively help prevent and combat cancer. They provide your body with a strong protection against degrading toxins, which allows you to naturally stop the growth of cancer cells and destroy the ones that already exist inside your body.
• Reducing inflammation.
  Sulforaphane glucosinolates are anti-inflammatory elements found in broccoli sprouts. They also possess potent antioxidant qualities. These two properties make the sprouts an excellent tool in the fight against inflammations and bacterial infections.
• Treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.
  Detoxifying properties of the sprouts make them an effective “cleanser” for your digestive system. Removing poisonous toxins and bacteria from your intestines allows you to keep the gastrointestinal tract healthy as a whole.
• Autism treatment.
  According to some recent studies, autism may be a result of the body’s reaction to systemic toxic overload. This belief is supported by the fact that autistic patients suffer from severe gastrointestinal disorders. Following this theory, removing the toxins from the patient’s body should help reduce the symptoms of autism.

Buckwheat Noodles With Broccoli And Soy Sauce, Ginger And Chilli Dressing

Ingredients:

• 250 g buckwheat soba noodles
• 300 g purple sprouting or regular broccoli, roughly chopped
• 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• salt

 

For the dressing:

• 5 tbsp soy sauce

• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh root ginger
• juice of lime
