about short cooking sprouts


Sprouts appear to be the healthiest when they are short
cooked. This is because sprouts contain izothiocyanaten
which detoxify the blood. When vegetables are briefly
cooked, the isothiocyanten
will spreads over a longer period in the blood.
For example: a study by the University of
Wageningen in January 2009 (Martijn Vermeulen).
