Broccoli is in the Brassica genus of
plants, which includes cauliflower and
cabbages. Brassicas are known to be
“good for you”. According to The
Whole Foods Companion, by Diane
Onstad, the brassicas contain
dithiolthiones, a group of compounds
that have anti-cancer, antioxidant
properties; indoles, substances that
protect against breast and colon
cancer; sulphur, which has antibiotic
and antiviral characteristics; and
lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids
that protect from oxidation. Truly
fresh broccoli, straight from the farm
fields – it’s delicious and good for you,
too.
