on May 31, 2025

In the spirit of “Good Food, Good Mood,” and Food As Medicine (FAM)…Broccoli Sprouts are in the top 1% of super foods you want to enter your body on a regular basis. (you can watch the 5 minute video here, Food As Medicine: Fun to grow Broccoli Sprouts, a Super Food! )

FUN FACT: Broccoli sprouts are known for their exceptionally high concentration of sulforaphane. This potent antioxidant has multiple health benefits. These benefits include reducing inflammation, boosting your immune system, and enhancing your cognitive ability, memory, and reaction times, plus more.
