How to Consume

  • Always eat raw — cooking destroys sulforaphane bioavailability
  • Chew well or chop before eating to activate the glucoraphenin → sulforaphane conversion
  • Pair with a fat source (avocado, olive oil) to enhance fat-soluble nutrient absorption
  • 30 g per day delivers a meaningful dose of sulforaphane for detox support

Key Bioactives

Glucoraphenin (glucosinolate)

Converts to sulforaphane on chewing — supports liver detox enzymes (Phase II) and has documented anti-inflammatory and potential anti-cancer activity

💡 Heat destroys myrosinase, the activating enzyme — eat raw for full benefit

Isothiocyanates

Activate Nrf2 antioxidant pathway; support gut microbiome diversity

Flavonoids & Anthocyanins

Potent antioxidants; protect cells from oxidative stress

💡 Highest in red/purple cultivars

Chlorophyll

Supports detoxification pathways and gives microgreens their vibrant colour
