Product Description

Broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables, so it’s no wonder that this plant’s seeds are also very beneficial to your health. They have recently become the object of many studies and scientists determined that broccoli sprouts have an extraordinary healing potential.

For the first time, the sprouts were used in 1970s. However, the real recognition came to them about 20 years later. In 1992, the researchers from the John Hopkins University discovered that broccoli sprouts contained glucoraphanin. At that time, this meant little, however the scientists managed to prove that this element possesses strong cancer-inhibiting properties. The real recognition came to broccoli seeds in 1997 through an article in the New York Times. This article explained the results of the study, which proved that broccoli sprouts contain 30-50 times more of this incredibly precious ingredient than mature plants.

Health Benefits

All sprouts offer are good for your health, so you won’t go wrong by adding them to your diet. However, organic broccoli seeds will provide you with sprouts that are truly incredible. The most important benefits they offer are:

• Cancer prevention.
  This is definitely the most important reason to eat these sprouts on a regular basis. They make such an extraordinarily potent antioxidant that the risk of developing cancer gets reduced significantly. Consuming them will also help slow down the growth of the tumor’s cells.
  NOTE that all cruciferous vegetables contain glucoraphanin. However, you’ll need to consume large amounts of mature plants to achieve the same effect as a handful of broccoli sprouts can provide. Eating so many of these veggies is dangerous for people who suffer from hypothyroidism and iodine deficiency. Sprouts, on the other hand, don’t trigger these negative side effects.
• Promoting women’s health.
  Organic broccoli seeds contain phytoestrogens. Therefore, they are very beneficial to women who often suffer from hormonal imbalances. If you need to increase your level of estrogen, they should be included in your diet.
• Treating gastrointestinal disorders.
  The sprouts contain sulforaphane. This ingredient possesses strong anti-bacterial properties that help fight minor infections and inflammation. Therefore, they are good for treating various gastrointestinal disorders, like ulcer. This effect is created because sulforaphane can inhibit Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium usually responsible for digestive disorders.
• Relieving the symptoms of autism.
  Autism is a disorder that affects the way your brain processes information. Patients suffering from this condition usually develop severe gastrointestinal disorders. This is the reason that led some scientists to believe that autism is triggered by the body’s response to a toxic overload. Following this logic, organic broccoli seeds can help relieve the symptoms of the disorder by treating the gastrointestinal tract.
