This study focused on sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli and other Brassica microgreens, and found that this microgreens had the potential to reducing the risk of certain types of cancer.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE THESE STUDIES SHOW PROMISING RESULTS, MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE POTENTIAL ANTI-CANCER PROPERTIES OF MICROGREENS AND THEIR IMPACT ON HUMAN HEALTH. IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO SPEAK WITH A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE MAKING ANY DIETARY CHANGES OR USING FOOD AS A TREATMENT FOR ANY MEDICAL CONDITION.
