Broccoli as anti-cancer properties
Broccoli contains a high
concentration of sulforaphane, a compound which is found in cruciferous
vegetables (kale, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, radish) and has
strong anti-cancer properties. Sulforaphane is produced when the enzyme
myrosinase reacts with glucoraphanin - this reaction usually occurs
when the two compounds mix, which occurs when the plant is being chewed.
Therefore, due to its known cancer-preventing properties, individuals who have a high risk of cancer, especially prostate or colon cancer, should increase their consumption of broccoli. However, it's not as simple as this - it's not only about what you eat, but also how you eat it.
The way you cook your broccoli can drastically decrease the health benefits that it yields. For example, boiling or microwaving broccoli will destroy the myrosinase enzymes, which in turn will inhibit the production of sulforaphane. Therefore, the goal is to cook broccoli in such a way that it is able to retain all of its health benefits.
Usually, when making creamy broccoli soup, the majority of the myrosinase enzymes are lost during the simmering process. Therefore, this time, to counter that, after the broccoli has been lightly steamed for 3-5 minutes, set aside the leafy floret, and save it for the last step - most of the myrosinase enzymes are found in the leafy buds. The following creamy broccoli soup recipe will leave your mouth watering while giving you a huge nutrient boost!
