For most people, broccoli is one of the standard foods the rule-of-health phrase “eat your greens” brings to mind. This important vegetable also provides a nutrient-packed addition to the world of vegetable foods in the diminutive form of its sprouted seeds. According to Johns Hopkins University, 3-day-old broccoli sprouts contain as much as 50 times the amount of some of the health-boosting phytonutrients of the mature broccoli head. Both forms of broccoli provide valuable nutrition in a delicious and convenient form.
