AUTUMN AND WINTER CHECKLIST

1 Micro broccoli for health

Let’s face it, there are very few people who actually like broccoli, but we do know how good it is for us. So rather than eat the whole plant, try eating the sprouts or microgreens and get the health benefits without the need to steam your way through the bigger version. In fact, the sprouted version has higher concentrations of good properties than the mature version. Like all cruciferous veggies, broccoli contains glucosinolates, and broccoli microgreens have more than most. Scientists are now studying the benefits of these compounds to prevent DNA damage that could lead to cancer and help prevent inflammation that can lead to neurodegenerative diseases. While the scientist are busy, we may as well start eating them on our sandwiches and in our salads.
