A Reason To Eat ... Supplementing Superfoods

Have been on a research binge and have uncovered some startling information ... we all know about how broccoli is the anti cancer vegie, yesterday I read that it also has the ability to counteract several bad palyers that are in pollution filled air ... anyway, it showed that the broccoli consumed as sprouts actually flushed the body of benzene which is a really bad component in heavily polluted air ... 

Then I went back to original research that started it all and then came forward and it seems that conventional wisdom is that you must consume broccoli raw or you lose the properties ... I saw newer research that shows that it is actually an enzyme that breaks the component in broccoli into the cancer fighter and cleanser ... that enzyme is deactivated by the heat ...  the same enzyme is high in daikon and adding daikon to the cooked broccoli brought the properties back ... 

So have been thinking and it appears that by combining a little daikon or sango radish with broccoli can create a super microgreen mix ... another colleague told me that he has been growing daikon in his broccoli and it makes a good mix so I am going to be trying it out (see pic of Daikon above) ... once I find right combo this is going to be our new superfood supplement microgreen mix ...
