Goshen, New York Oct 31, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Kick the processed powders, pills, and bottled juices, say nutritionists, and get the latest superfood - broccoli microgreens - delivered straight to your home, grown locally by Perfect Foods Inc., a family-owned farm in Goshen, NY, if you want a fresh dose of massive nutrients as recommended by doctors.
Fresh, locally grown, organic broccoli microgreens, containing nutrient-rich ingredients that improve overall health and immunity, have sparked a sudden demand among discerning consumers. Fresh broccoli microgreens also contain sulforaphane, seen as having significant results in treating autism, cancer, and detoxing the liver, according to recent research.
Microgreens can have over 40 times the nutrients as their adult plant according to the Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland studies. Broccoli microgreens, in particular, have been shown to be one of the number one leading anti-cancer foods. Microgreens have become increasingly popular for foodies and chefs because of their delicious flavors and beautiful colors but people may not realize the tremendous nutritional benefits they have to boost your protein and nutrient intake by putting them in everything including salads, sandwiches, smoothies, garnish on avocado toast or just as a snack.
But why the sudden interest in fresh microgreens as a superfood, rich in minerals, with the potential to strengthen the human diet? Recent studies published by the National Institute of Health’s PubMed Center* offer a growing body of research about microgreens:
· Studies suggest that microgreens can have many times the nutrient density of the mature plant (J. Agric. Food Chem. 2012, 60, 7644−7651) <https://www.800wheatgrass.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/microgreens_Nutrients_JAFC2012.pdf> . This means that eating just small amounts (up to eight ounces) of microgreens can be extremely beneficial to your health.
· A Johns Hopkins study discovered an anti-cancer nutrient in broccoli microgreens, sulforaphane, which was found in much higher concentrations in the young sprouted plant (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1992 Mar 15;89(6):2399-403 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1549603> ).
· And 2017 research showed in a small clinical trial that sulforaphane (SF) from broccoli sprouts could significantly reduce the behavioral symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder. (Glob Adv Health Med <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5672987/> . 2017; 6: 2164957X17735826).
