Useful properties of broccoli - a valuable health portal
Studies have shown that young stems / shoots contain sulforaphane. Sadly, there is relatively little of it in dense inflorescences. This valuable substance destroys the unusually hardy bacteria that cause stomach ulcers. Moreover, it prevents the development of malignant cells.
For this reason, broccoli is an excellent nutritional supplement for cancer:
- breasts;
- prostate;
- skin;
- ovaries;
- Bladder.
Heat treatment, especially in the microwave, destroys all the beneficial properties. High temperature (over high heat) leads to the destruction of vitamins and minerals. Inflorescences should not be fried in a large amount of fat, because then harmful carcinogens are formed. Broccoli broth also contains hazardous substances.
