Everyone knows about the health benefits of broccoli, but the vegetable’s ‘baby’ offshoot—broccoli sprouts—also pack a health punch.
They are full of polysulfides, compounds that reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
But don’t eat the sprouts straight away; let them germinate for five days and their polysulfide content increases 20-fold, say researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University.
They also spotted new variants of polysulfides that could well have health benefits that haven’t even be assessed.
