Broccoli is famous for being a nutritional powerhouse, but what packs a bigger nutritional punch are broccoli sprouts. Here's how to grow them at home.
I buy broccoli and mustard seeds to make sprouts. Thus I combine the properties of both, increasing the availability of sulfuraphane. The health benefits of mustard sprouts are similar to other plants in the Brassica family, which include cruciferous vegetables. Mustard sprouts offer high nutrition and have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and disease prevention properties. Mustard sprouts are high-fiber vegetables and are an important source of vitamins K and A and high levels of vitamins C and B. Mustard sprouts also contain minerals such as manganese, calcium and potassium. The high levels of vitamins A and C in mustard sprouts are important for improving health and preventing certain diseases. Vitamin C is essential for maintaining immune system function and skin health. Vitamin A is beneficial in preventing degenerative eye conditions such as macular degeneration.
