Hidden within all those trees in the broccoli plant is what could be the most potent phytochemical of the year: sulforaphane. You saw it here first.

It would take 7.5 pounds of mature broccoli to get the health benefits in two capsules of sulforaphane—39 distinct pro-health applications including two different ways to address inflammation, a potent detoxification agent, various aspects of cognitive health and dozens of provocative others.
