Cruciferous Vegetables Recipe Book
Cruciferous vegetables are also known as Brassicas and can be divided into 4 different categories; Asian, roots, heads and leafy.
These vegetables are known for their powerful anticarcinogenic and antioxidant properties as well as immune support. The sulfur containing compounds known as glucosinolates are responsible for the anticarcinogenic properties. The anticarcinogenic properties are most notable with cancers of the digestive tract such as lung, colon and rectal cancer and least notable with prostate, endometrial and ovarian cancer. Brassicas get their antioxidant properties from the vitamins C, E and carotene contained in the vegetables. Brassica vegetables also contain fiber, are low in salt as well as low in calories. Fiber is beneficial for digestive health, regulating blood sugar and satiety.
