Chinese scientists from Zhejiang University told about the most useful way to eat broccoli, allowing you to get the most out of it, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net This vegetable is known to contain a valuable compound called sulforaphane, which helps maintain blood sugar levels and has an anti-cancer effect.. However, the benefits of sulforaphane literally vanish within minutes of cooking broccoli..

Experts suggest cutting the vegetable into pieces about 2 mm in size and leaving it in this form for 90 minutes, then gently mix - such a simple manipulation helps to increase the level of sulforaphane by 2.8 times. Although it's not entirely clear how this happens, researchers believe that aging broccoli in sliced \u200b\u200bform increases the vegetable's sulforaphane content..

Experts note that before cooking, you can leave chopped broccoli for half an hour - this time will also be enough to activate all the beneficial properties..
