Sulforaphane
Resouces
Cruciferous comes from the (Latin) word, the cross,and Crucifixion is about our LORD and savior Jesus Christ. Cruciferous vegetables are a diverse group that includes, broccoli , cauliflower , cabbage, kale, bok choy, arugula, brussel sprouts,collards,watercress,and radishes. The name Calciferous”is a classification or members of the mustard family and cruciferae meaning cross bearing because the four petals resemble a cross. Cruciferous vegetables contain glucoraphanin. When the plant is damaged from chewing or cutting Sulforaphane is produced. We at the Fountain of Y Farms, Produce and More grow Broccoli Microgreens which contain the highest amount of sulforaphane in the cruciferous family. Many studies have been done on sulforaphane and its effects on the human body. After researching the data we feel everyone should research the data and come to their own conclusion. We grow our microgreens using no chemicals, only filtered H2O. We grow our microgreens on a preordered 7 day waiting period.
