The dark green vegetable is a reservoir of phytochemicals like glucosinolates, sulphoraphane (sulphur compounds), carotenoids, and flavonoids that play a key role in fighting cancer.
Brocolli and its super effects
The word broccoli is derived from the Latin word "brachium," meaning branch.
Broccoli is believed to originate in the Mediterranean region and derives its name from the Latin word "brachium," meaning branch. It belongs to the brassica family, which contains powerful cancer-fighting plant chemicals, known as phytochemicals, like glucosinolates, sulphoraphane (sulphur compounds), carotenoids, and flavonoids.
Broccoli is known as a super-food and its consumption could reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and increase immunity. Sulphoraphane and glucosinolates in broccoli are released when it is chewed, which then converts into phyto-nutrients called isothiocyanates and indoles. Isothiocyanates have been shown to inhibit tumour formation while indoles work as chemo-preventive agents, particularly against hormone-related cancers.
