It depends on quantity of water used.and heating temperature how huge is it.holes of a steamer,how many are they and how big can they penetrate heat,and lastly how do you need a veggie to be,little bit harder,soft or softer.but all in all steaming vegetables meaningful we need to leave more enzymes within,thats why we need to steam about 15- 25 mins just to make a little bit softness

You should be aware that heat destroys the enzyme that produces sulforaphane. If you plan to steam, sprinkle just a little mustard powder on top of you cruciferous veggies, it contains the enzyme that converts the precursor substance!

Broccoli and Nrf2 research scientist here. I think a few important points were not accurately delivered probably because the material was oversimplified. There's a lot of very convincing and beautiful data from clinical trials that absolutely need to be shared with the public. I know many people don't like looking at graphs but without actual data, the message of plants that have scientifically validated disease prevention and therapeutic properties, gets lumped in with other random snake oil stories on the internet. Broccoli is a vegetable that has shown very convincing results in epidemiological studies as well as in randomized clinical trials. A lot of good research is behind it and that needs to be delivered to people who don't know about it.

Stephan there are some foods from which we derive the most nutrition once cooked. Tomatoes are ten times better for your prostate once cooked or turned into tomato paste. Carrots are more assimilatable once cooked. And in any event, microscopy of fresh raw veggies' surfaces show live insects, dead insects, their eggs, live roundworms, coloform bacteria... if you can dig up a potato fresh from the ground it's sweet when raw, but after that it should be heated/cooked. The Chinese know that food is medicine. They also traditionally feel that the middle road is best: not all raw, not all cooked, not too spicy or too bland, not too sweet or too bitter, and so on. Balance. The reason they cooked everything, even if just briefly, is that they fertilized with night soil and saw that cooked foods didn't make them sick.

Something to remember when it comes for Sulphoraphane is that it needs a chemical reaction to be generated and one of the components of it in cruciferous vegetables is not heat stable. If you want to cook your broccoli and other greens and want the same health benefits add some mustard powder to the dish after it has cooled down. You reintroduce the appropriate chemicals this way and only need a few pinches to have enough.

If your green veggies are cooked until they are yellow, you have almost killed the nutrient out of the entire plant as well as much of It's flavour. It even "looks" dead and unappetizing. It's probably best to cook most veggies at low temperature.

@@Niewis Cruciferous vegetable contains substances called goitrogens that interfere with thyroid function by inhibiting thyroid hormone synthesis and thus increasing TSH secreted by the pituitary to make up for the decreased function of the thyroid, which also causes goiter hence the name. You can deactivate these substances by steaming or boiling say the broccoli (cooking with moisture) or fermenting it (think sauerkraut and cauliflower pickles). So it’s safer to eat plants of the cruciferous family in either way. I personally have had a period recently where I’d have blanched broccoli almost everyday for the sole reason of craving it, it was inexplicable honestly (especially coming from a place where broccoli isn’t grown locally and I think I was the first of my family to eat broccoli so regularly, and for the first time) I later then found out about goitrogens. I started craving broccoli this much when I first went off thyroid meds (for hyperthyroidism) and it was the best I felt in 2 years since I was first diagnosed with Grave’s disease. Even my menstrual cycle got regulated spontaneously without any efforts to regulate it put on my part. My health getting better at the time could of course be for various reasons if not only because of the broccoli I was having daily but I think that that daily serving of blanched broccoli played a huge role in restoring my health which is why I intend on experimenting further with this by reintroducing cruciferous vegetable into my diet. I suggest you look more into it and experiment with it for yourself.

Tom...great video, and I read you and love what I read. Truths! I have a question in regards to cruciferous veggies. I have Hashimotos, and I have been on a healing journey now for 2 years. I have healed 24 resultant conditions through food (no gluten, dairy, soy, industrialized oils or processed food...though I find I need the eggs for my baked goods) and proper supplementation. I now eat 80/20 raw diet, the 80 of which is fruits and veggies. No, I do not eat more than 2 pounds of cruciferous veggies in my daily salads. I believe strongly in the value of the nutrition in that particular group of veggies, and eat quite the amount of broccoli sprouts and red cabbage. I have become so excited about the value of food as medicine, that I became an IIN Health Coach! However...and here's the million dollar question...I get loads of gas from the sulforaphanes! I am a nurse, and it is quite embarrassing amongst the patients and staff when I squelch them out unannounced. I have tried cutting out all nuts and nut flours (other than coconut) and L-glutamine supplementation of 5 grams per day...to no avail. So perhaps it is not a leaky gut, but a perfectly natural reaction to those crucifers. I can't give them up. This is my only remaining negative symptom from all my previous conditions. Please help!

Please go to my Facebook page: Reduce Inflammation. I am on a product called Calibr8. Main ingredient is Sulforaphane (patented version). It took away my arthritis in 3 weeks. I was worried about gas because I cannot eat broccoli. The product also contains 1 million probiotics, so perhaps this is why I can tolerate it with no bloating (and seriously, better digestion, water weight loss and increased energy). The literature is endless on the positive results for cancer patients, allergy sufferers, children with autism.... and on and on.... it all stems from inflammation

Hey C Rivers! Thanks so much for this thoughtful comment. Due to your own unique microbiome, you may have challenges in digesting and metabolizing the compounds found in these veggies. And/or you may have some genetic variations that increase the likelihood of having this issue. Have you worked with a Functional Medicine practitioner on your digestion and balancing your microbiome? Have you looked in to mineral supplementation (especially molybdenum)? By the way...5 grams is often not sufficient to experience benefits from glutamine. Many of effective protocols are between 10 to 20+ grams. Just make sure your kidneys are functioning well and you do not have elevated ammonia. Best of luck to you!
