Broccoli is well known for its cancer-fighting properties, thanks to its high sulforaphane content. Sulforaphane is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body detox harmful compounds and supports liver function.
However, your body needs the enzyme myrosinase to properly digest and absorb sulforaphane. The problem is that cooking broccoli destroys myrosinase, making it harder to absorb sulforaphane and reducing its health benefits.
However, mustard seeds and mustard powder are rich in myrosinase, the same enzyme found in broccoli.
A 2011 study found that adding mustard to cooked broccoli restores its health benefits. The high myrosinase content in mustard ensures better sulforaphane absorption, making the meal more effective for cancer prevention.
This broccoli-mustard combination also enhances anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties, making it an easy way to boost your diet.
