In this brief conversational segment, two speakers discuss whether children should eat broccoli and outline the reasons for recommending it. They emphasize that broccoli provides health benefits beyond the well‑studied compound sulforaphane, noting additional advantages for the microbiome. The speakers also mention that consuming whole adult broccoli delivers two bioactive compounds not present in their product, highlighting the role of the enzyme myrosinase in stabilizing these molecules. Finally, they touch on the popularity of broccoli sprouts as an alternative source of broccoli’s nutrients.

Should kids really eat their broccoli? If so, why? Kids should eat their broccoli? Yes.
Even if you're taking our product, we would say eat some adult broccoli because you're getting two compounds that aren't in ours.
Part of it is there are benefits outside of sulforaphane and especially with microbiome. So, yeah, I'd say we're fans of broccoli. Okay.
You'll hear us talk a lot about synergies, and one of the ones that we'll often talk about is that sulforaphane is the most published molecule from that plant. And we were interested in really stabilizing all the ones that are made by the one enzyme called myrosinase.
Why not broccoli sprouts, who are also big fans of broccoli sprouts?
