BroccoSprouts

aw c'mon- not eating a healthy food because it might have bacteria? why not just wash it or nuke it?- that being said, that broccosprout rep qoute made me giggle- the peanut corporation that distributed the dirty peanuts said the exact same thing- so, diabolically, when the peanut batch tested positive for bacteria, the corporation fired the lab service, hiring a new lab to test, so that they could get the 'right' results!- unfortunately, it pays to buy the best- for a premium price, you can pay for food that is organic, from small producers that guarantee quality via private certification- but the masses are left to consume the cheaper quality stuff on the shelves- I really do believe that was the origins of grace- God would bless the meal, since there was no other way of verifying if it was safe or not

David,

 

I guess maybe I'll check these out. My guess though is they're going to be prohibitively expensive.

 

Have you ever tried broccoli cooked the way Alton Brown does on Good Eats, where he sort of boils the stems while steaming the crown? I'm sure you wouldn't like the steamed crown, since I'm sure you've tried it that way, but I've switched to this way and I LOVE the stems cooked this way. They're delicious.

but I don't understand your last statement

 

"But the regular supermarkets I checked seem to have only broccoli sprouts. They aren't the same thing."

 

What are BroccoSprouts if they are not broccoli sprouts?

i think they are very healthy add alittle cunch to salads or main dish, but i love my steamed broccoli too i can eat it by the pound..

Sulforaphane may also help to limit the damage caused by higher blood sugars levels as this chemical causes the body to increase production of transkelotase. It has the same biological effect of benfotiamine as far as transkelotase production with the added kick of stimulating phase 2 detoxification in the liver/cells. Good eats.
