ध्यान दें
- Untreated thyroid issues (raw consumption)
Cancer prevention (Sulforaphane)
Sulforaphane (from glucoraphanin + myrosinase)Sulforaphane activates Nrf2 — inducing 200+ detoxification genes. Phase II enzymes (glutathione S-transferase, NQO1) neutralise carcinogens before DNA damage. Epidemiological studies correlate cruciferous vegetable intake with reduced colorectal, breast, prostate, and lung cancer risk.
Hormone regulation (DIM)
Indole-3-Carbinol → DIMIndole-3-Carbinol (I3C) converts to DIM (diindolylmethane) in the stomach, shifting oestrogen metabolism toward less potent metabolites. Relevant for PCOS, oestrogen dominance, and endometriosis.
Liver detoxification
SulforaphaneSulforaphane strongly induces hepatic phase II enzymes — increasing the liver's capacity to neutralise environmental toxins, medications, and metabolic byproducts.

सल्फोराफेन केवल तब बनता है जब मायरोसिनेज (ब्रोकोली कोशिकाओं में एंजाइम) ग्लूकोराफेनिन के संपर्क में आता है। 60°C से ऊपर गर्मी मायरोसिनेज को स्थायी रूप से नष्ट कर देती है।

- October–February only. Tight, dark green florets — no yellowing. Sulforaphane content drops rapidly in over-mature broccoli.
करें
- Consume immediately after pressing — sulforaphane degrades within hours
- Excellent paired with apple and lemon to mask sulfurous notes
न करें
- ⚠️ Limit to 50g if you have hypothyroidism — glucosinolates are goitrogenic
- Don't heat the juice — destroys the myrosinase that creates sulforaphane
ब्रोकोली के अंकुर परिपक्व ब्रोकोली की तुलना में 50–100× अधिक ग्लूकोराफेनिन होते हैं।
