Sulforaphane Content Variability
- Sulforaphane content in broccoli varies widely due to factors like growing conditions and storage.
- Individual conversion rates also differ because of gut microbiome variations.
Daily Sulforaphane Dose
- Target 50-100 micromoles of sulforaphane daily for health benefits.
- Consider supplements for consistent dosing due to variations in food content.
Boosting Sulforaphane in Cooked Broccoli
- If cooking broccoli, add ground mustard seed, daikon radish, or moringa to boost sulforaphane conversion.
- These contain myrosinase, the enzyme needed to activate sulforaphane.
