Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Anyone here sprout? I've never tried this but after reading such as this: " Three-day-old broccoli sprouts consistently contain 20 to 50 times the amount of chemoprotective compounds found in mature broccoli heads, and may offer a simple, dietary means of chemically reducing cancer risk, " says Talalay, M.D., J.J. Abel Distinguished Service Professor of Pharmacology. and this: " Sulforaphane (SUL), an isothiocyanate found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, has been shown to induce phase II detoxification enzymes, inhibit chemically induced mammary tumors in rats, and more recently to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells of the colon. Here, we provide evidence that SUL also acts as a breast cancer anti-proliferative agent. " This piques my interest about trying my hand at limited sprouting. I found this: http://www..com/seed/broccoli.html#anchor.sprouters.broccoli It seems easy enough. Anyone else have experience with this they could share, or more info??
