Rambo Radish microgreens are part of the Brassicaceae family, including broccoli, cabbage, kale and kohlrabi.
These tough microgreens from this cruciferous vegetable family contain Sulforaphane, an effective compound that studies suggest helps to fight cancerous cells by reducing their development.
So how does Sulforaphane work?
Our bodies convert the sulforaphane compound from Glucoraphanin, which is a glucosinolate found in vegetables such as kohlrabi, broccoli, cabbage, rocket, kale, or radishes, giving it its bitter taste.
Glucosinolates break down into metabolites that we absorb slowly through our digestive system and have several nutritional values that prevent heart disease and obesity.
When our bodies convert this compound into Sulforaphane, it also protects our cells against inflammation linked to certain cancers; and various diseases.
Rambo Radish Microgreens are considered a superfood because they are rich in nutrients and antioxidants that can help prevent various diseases.
Rambo Radish Microgreens are rich in vitamin C, A, K, E, and beta-carotene. They also contain lutein and zeaxanthin, which help maintain eye health and fight against age-related macular degeneration.
It is a great way to incorporate nutrients into your diet without having to prepare them in complicated ways and can be eaten as a salad or in a sandwich.
Rambo Radish Microgreens are also used in soups because they add texture to the dish.
