Glucoraphanin is converted to sulforaphane by the enzyme myrosinase.[4] In plants, sulforaphane deters insect predators and acts as a selective antibiotic.[5] In humans, sulforaphane has been studied for its potential effects in neurodegenerative[6] and cardiovascular diseases.[7]
Due to the potential health benefits, a variety of broccoli has been bred to contain two to three times more glucoraphanin than standard broccoli.[8]
Romanesco broccoli has been found to contain ten times more glucoraphanin than typical broccoli varieties.[9] Frostara, Black Tuscany and red cabbage also contain much higher levels of glucoraphanin than broccoli.[9]
