Benefits of Sulforaphane and Glucosinolates in Broccoli

Broccoli contains a compound called glucosinolate, which is biologically inactive, but when the cells are broken open, it interacts with an enzyme called myrosinase. This interaction results in the production of sulforaphane, which has demonstrated biological activity and health benefits for both people and bacteria. This process enhances the nutritional value of broccoli and its potential positive impact on overall health.
