Powerfood Profile: Sprouted Seeds & Cereal Grasses

Sprouted seeds and cereal grasses contain powerful compounds including antioxidants, a number of enzymes, and chlorophyll.

It is often easier to obtain these compounds in the form of juices. Excellent choices are broccoli sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, kale sprouts, sunflower seed greens, wheatgrass juice, barley grass juice, oat grass juice, cabbage sprouts, and cauliflower sprouts.

Broccoli sprouts are particularly important as a sourec of the cancer-inhibiting phytochemical sulphoraphane.
