Although crucifers encompass a diverse list of vegetables, every one of them is packed with nutrition! These vegetables tend to be high in fiber, folate, and vitamin K (with leafy green crucifers also being high in vitamin C and carotenoids), but vary in their exact nutritional profile. #nutrientdense #nutrivore #cruciferousveggies The Paleo Mom, Cruciferous Vegetables, Being High, Paleo Mom, List Of Vegetables, High In Fiber, Baking Soda Beauty Uses, Broccoli Cauliflower, Collard Greens

Dr. Tyler Jean - Sulforaphane, the active phytochemical in cruciferous vegetables, is our most potent naturally occurring inducer of phase II detoxification by conjugating glutathione in the liver as well as up-regulating Nrf2, a transcription factor which enhance our ability to buffer oxidative stress via antioxidant response elements (AREs). 🥦 Cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates. Glucosinolates come in many different flavors and give rise to various isothiocyanates. Sulforaphane is a type of isothiocyanate, just as indoor-3-carbinol (known best for its estrogen detoxification benefits) is another type of isothiocyanate. 🥦 Broccoli sprouts, in particular, are one of the highest concentrated sources of sulforaphane. In fact, 3-day-old sprouts contain 10–100 times higher levels of glucoraphanin than the mature plant (broccoli). However, of all the cruciferous vegetables, brussels sprouts have the highest concentrated source of glucosinolates. 🥦 Sulforaphane is also a potent anti-inflammatory by regulating the transcription factor NF-kB, our master regulator of the inflammatory eicosanoid pathway. 🥦 In addition, sulforaphane contains a high concentration of antioxidants and is a powerful anti-cancer compound by inhibiting blood vessel growth (angiogenesis), inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis) via upregulation of p53 gene expression, and inhibiting cell proliferation/migration. 🥦 Kale, collards, and mustard are all rich in fat-soluble carotenoids called lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the macula and our eyes by serving as antioxidant “pools” to squelch free radicals and absorbs excess damaging blue and UV light. Dark leafy greens are also excellent sources of vitamin K, vitamin B6, folate, bioavailable calcium, and non-heme iron. 🥦 While both red and green cabbage contain glucosinolates, red cabbage in particular packs a bigger punch because it also contains anthocyanins, the compound responsible for giving the produce its red-purple pigment. Anthocyanins have been shown to prevent mitochondrial damage, limit oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and inhibit lipid peroxidaton (fat ratification). 🥦 Which of these vegetables do you eat on a regular basis
