Well, it turns out that your mother was right (again!) when she said to eat your broccoli. When it comes to essential nutrients, broccoli is the king. Ounce for ounce, broccoli has more vitamin C than an orange and as much calcium as a glass of milk. One medium spear has three times more fiber than a slice of wheat bran bread. Broccoli is also one of the richest sources of beta-carotene in the produce section.

Broccoli may have a robust and supportive impact on our body’s detoxification system, and researchers have recently identified one of the critical reasons for this benefit. Glucoraphanin, gluconasturtiin, and glucobrassicin are three glucosinolate phytonutrients in a unique combination in broccoli. This dynamic trio may support all steps in the body’s detox process, including activation, neutralization elimination of unwanted contaminants. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are the detox-regulating molecules made from broccoli’s glucosinolates, and they may help support the detox process at a genetic level.

Non-GMO broccoli may help solve our vitamin D deficiency epidemic as well. When large supplemental doses of vitamin D are needed to offset deficiency, ample vitamin K and vitamin A supplies help keep our vitamin D metabolism balanced. Broccoli has a powerful combination of both vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene) and vitamin K. For people who need to rebuild vitamin D stores through vitamin D supplements; broccoli may be an ideal food to incorporate.

Broccoli is a quality source of a flavonoid called kaempferol. Recent research has shown the ability of kaempferol to lessen the impact of allergy-related substances on our bodies. This kaempferol connection helps to explain broccoli’s unique ability to support a healthy inflammation response. It may help open the doors to future research on the benefits of broccoli for hypoallergenic diets. Broccoli also provides vitamin C, which may support a healthy immune response. The folate (also known as vitamin B9 and natural folic acid) in broccoli may help women sustain average tissue growth and is often used as a supplement when taking birth control pills and during pregnancies. The potassium in broccoli may support healthy blood pressure levels, while a large amount of calcium helps to keep healthy bones. This vegetable is also fiber-rich, which promotes healthy digestion and lipid levels.

In recent years, broccoli has made the headlines regarding three components found in the vegetable. For instance, indole-3- has captured the attention of those looking to support a healthy immune response. I3C supports healthy levels of “good” while working against destructive ones. The sulforaphane in broccoli also helps to keep the level of enzymes that support immune health. In contrast, the beta-carotene in broccoli transforms into vitamin A within the body, providing an effective antioxidant that may destroy free radicals (responsible for weakening cell defense).
