Broccoli - a well-known superfood

Most of us know broccoli as a vegetable that was often served in childhood. Despite negative childhood memories of this green superfood, we all know that broccoli is healthy and should be a regular part of our diet along with other vegetables. But why? What exactly does broccoli contain that makes it a superfood?

Broccoli contains many minerals and trace elements. These include calcium, potassium, phosphorus and zinc, but vitamins such as vitamin B1, B2, B6 and E can also be found in broccoli. Broccoli also contains secondary plant substances such as quercetin and glucoraphanin, but broccoli is best known for its sulforaphane.

Sulforaphane is also a secondary plant substance and belongs to the isothiocyanate family. It is produced when the enzyme myrosinase and mustard oil glycoside come together, the resulting sulforaphane helps plants to protect themselves from predators. Sulforaphane is produced when the broccoli is damaged, as its two components are previously present separately in the plant cells and can only react with each other when the cells are damaged. The substance poses no danger to humans - on the contrary, it is becoming increasingly popular in our culture.

However, the preparation of broccoli plays a significant role in the availability of sulforaphane. Cooking and blanching destroy the heat-sensitive enzyme myrosinase, which is necessary for the formation of sulforaphane. It is best to keep the cooking time as short as possible or use a gentle steamer. A shorter cooking time can be achieved by chopping broccoli beforehand, for example. Eating slowly and chewing intensively can also have an effect on the amount of sulforaphane.

Alternatively, the broccoli capsules from PlantaVis offer a guaranteed 10 mg of sulforaphane per daily dose - without having to worry about preparing the broccoli.

Perfectly complemented by vitamin C

In addition to broccoli extract, broccoli from PlantaVis contains vitamin C. Vitamin C is a true all-rounder - because while it contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, it is also an antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress.
