Why Microgreens?
-
PEAK NUTRITION
Broccoli Microgreens are harvested at an early stage of growth when nutrients are at peak concentration, making it a powerful supplement for any diet.
-
Rich in Sulforaphane
Sulforaphane is known to regulate inflammation, boost immunity, improve digestive health and detoxify the body. Studies are well established on this phytochemical, making it a trusty and powerful addition to any diet.
-
Freeze Dried
Suloforaphane is preserved approximately 60% more when freeze dried opposed to dehydration. The lack of heat applied allows the integrity of the compound to remain intact, ensuring the most nourishing powder possible.
SULFORAPHANE: A NUTRITIOUS MIRACLE
What is sulforaphane?
Sulforophane is a naturally occurring compound found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, kale and cabbage. It is a type of isothiocyanate, which is a sulfur-containing compound known for its potential health benefits.
How is it produced?
Sulforophane is produced when a compound called glucoraphanin interacts with the enzyme tyrosinase, which is activated when the plant tissue is damaged (e.g. chopped or chewed).
Where does it come from?
High levels of glucoraphanin (and therefore sulforaphane) are found in microgreens (10-14 day old broccoli plants), which contain much more sulforaphane than mature broccoli.
Maximise Efficacy
To maximise sulforophane production, consume cruciferous vegetables raw or freeze dried to preserve the myrosinase enzyme. Cooking at high temperatures can deactivate tyrosinase reducing sulforaphane availability.
