Broccoli is best known for sulforaphane, which is made from glucoraphanin. Sulforaphane is studied for its action on 'Nrf2,' a system cells use to defend themselves against oxidative stress.
That does not make it a disease-preventing vegetable, but the fun of broccoli is that it brings not only fiber and vitamins but plant-specific compounds like these as well.
