Historically, it has also been recognized as a medicinal plant for humans and, more recently, as a menopausal herb.
At least six clinical trials have been conducted on the effect of red clover isoflavones on vasomotor symptoms. Three show benefit, and three do not. |

To make your own sprouts, soak a teaspoon of alfalfa seeds in a quart of tepid water overnight. Next morning, rinse the seeds thoroughly with tepid water and drain. Place them in a jar tightly covered with damp cheesecloth.
Store in a dark place. Twice a day, rinse the sprouting seeds and drain them well, returning them to the dark after each rinse. After 4 to 5 days, place the sprouts in the sunlight for a few hours to green them, then store in the refrigerator. Use alfalfa sprouts instead of lettuce, since they are far more nutritious. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Most sprouts are rich in B-vitamins and have a hundred times more nutrients than a fully developed plant because sprouts need more nutrition for their fast growing period.
Once in a while I read in the news or receive an e-mail about kale or spinach or parsley or any other green having a toxic ingredient and therefore being dangerous for human consumption. This is all true but not to a degree as to exclude any particular green from our diet. Let us learn to increase the variety of greens in our diet and to constantly rotate them for better nutritional results. |

In fact, I've written an entire report on Quinoa alone. Hopefully you're already familiar with the benefits of flax seeds, which have healthy omega-3 oils that boost cardiovascular health and enhance brain function. You probably also know that flax contains lignans, which boost immune system function, and that contain good, healthy fiber that reduces your risk of colorectal cancer and enhances digestive health. |

See book keywords and concepts |  And the reigning king of the brood—which includes broccoli, kohlrabi, cauliflower, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, and chard—is the cabbage. When we speak of cabbage, we're really talking about the large, lettucelike head that has been a staple for at least two millennia. Eaten raw, it's the stuff of slaws. Cooked, it is hard to ignore, as even slight overcooking produces the smell of rotten eggs. But cabbage can be a delicious vegetable. | | Sulforaphanes, along with other isothiocyanates and indoles is believed to be responsible for the lowered risk of cancer that's associated with the consumption of cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, kale, cabbage, and, of course, broccoli and broccoli sprouts.

Sulforaphane, a particularly potent member of the isothiocyanate family, increases the production of certain enzymes known as "phase-2 enzymes," which can "disarm" damaging free radicals and help fight carcinogens. It's believed that phase-2 enzymes may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. | | Like its relatives (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage), kohlrabi contains important phytochemicals such as cancer-fighting indoles, sulforaphane, and isothiocynates. It's also a good source of vitamin C (83 mg per cup) and an excellent source of potassium (472 mg). And for a measly 36 calories per cup, you get a whopping 5 g of fiber.
In case someone ever asks you, Hamburg Township in Michigan has christened itself the "Kohlrabi Capital of the World." No, I'm not making this up. At one time, back in the 1980s, they had a kohlrabi festival that actually drew 600 people. |

Their immune systems appear to work better to fend off cancer.

Researchers are already putting these findings to use. | | In Baltimore, Paul Talalay has come up with a specially designed form of broccoli-based sprouts rich in sulforaphane that looks like it can convert bad cells back to good ones.

POSSIBLE THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT:
• A good bet to inhibit cancer, especially colon and stomach
FACTS
Brussels sprouts look exceptionally good as a way to boost the body's defenses if you're worried about cancer, notably colon cancer. The sprouts are of the brassica, or cruciferous family that along with cabbage and broccoli are tops in the diets of people with low rates of cancer in general, and colon and stomach cancer in particular.
If you ask people around the world with low rates of cancer what they eat, green vegetables like brussels sprouts are mentioned consistently. |

See book keywords and concepts | | But make no mistake—this peppery little plant is a card-carrying member of one of the largest edible-plant families —the brassica family—which includes such nutritional and health heavyweights as cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, and kohlrabi. And it shares many of their amazing health benefits. Like all cruciferous vegetables, broccoli rabe contains flavonoids, sulforaphane, and indoles, which help prevent cellular degeneration and may help protect against cancer. Sulforaphane, for example, has been shown to induce powerful enzymes that protect rodents from tumors. |
