Guest guest Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 This is the information that I have (mostly from Dr. Gregor's web site and YouTube channel, http://nutritionfacts.org). The cancer fighting factor in broccoli in made by two enzymes that occur in two separate parts of the cell. Enzymes are destroyed by heat so cooking would deactivate the the ability to get the sulforaphane from the cooked broccoli. That is unless you do one thing, cut up your broccoli into small pieces and let it sit for about 45 minutes before you cook it (so the two enzymes get a chance to introduce themselves). That way at least some of the healthful factors would be made available to you. If you want sprout patties made with broccoli sprouts and want to be safe, snip them up with a kitchen scissors 45 minutes before you make your patties. Since there are some people who won't eat raw broccoli and will only eat it cooked if you melt a gallon of cheese on top, maybe you will be able to get a little sulforaphane into their diets.
