So,
I'm watching a Dr. Rhonda Patrick podcast, as I am prone to do, and she's interviewing Dr. Fahey, who ADMITS that Broccoli seeds have more sulforaphane than broccoli sprouts, but has made the decision NOT to promote this for fear people who add straight seeds to their smoothies won't like them.
Yet he, himself has not tried them.
Hmmm.
I can think of so many instances where Doctors alter recommendations in order to cater to what they think the public will or won't accept, well, just had to post this little rant.
BTW I just had a shake with broccoli seeds in it, seeds soaked overnight, and while I would not necessarily recommend them as a flavor additive, the shake tasted a whole lot better than coffee does the first time you taste it.
If I had known the seeds were that palatable, I never would have wasted DAYS growing sprouts, buying mason jars, buying a grow light set up...
Bottom line, why should we bother growing the sprouts when we can just grind and eat the seeds?
