Broccoli is a member of the cruciferous family and contains high levels of healthy compounds called glucosinolates. This broccoli powder is extracted from broccoli florets, dried at low temperatures to preserve nutritional content, and then ground into a fine powder. Broccoli powder is rich in beta-carotene, an antioxidant believed to have anti-cancer effects, and high amounts of calcium folate for healthy cell growth. It's a convenient way to get a nutritional boost with every meal. Broccoli powder is also rich in protein, fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium and B6 iron. Just as lycopene in tomatoes has been recognized for years as helpful in fighting prostate cancer, the sulforaphane found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables has similar properties and is of similar importance. Add it to soups to significantly increase the greens content, or mix it with water to create a nutritious drink. For a great smoothie, add 2 tsp (8g) of broccoli powder to a blender and mix well with a banana and 200ml of plant milk. Or how about slightly green broccoli pasta dough, fresh, healthy pasta without the kids having a screaming fit at the sight of the often unloved florets. 😉
