Second Strategy to Cooking Broccoli
Ғылым және технология
Adding myrosinase enzymes in the form of even a pinch of mustard powder to cooked cruciferous (cabbage-family) vegetables like kale, collards, or Brussels sprouts can offer anti-cancer sulforaphane levels comparable to raw, removing the necessity to pre-chop for maximum health benefits.

Is that cool or what?! I love kitchen chemistry. Totally revolutionized my daily greens prep. For those new to the whole enzyme concept I’m sure this is a bit confusing. Make sure to watch the original “chemical flare” video The Best Detox (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-b...) and then the hack and hold strategy in Sometimes the Enzyme Myth is the Truth (nutritionfacts.org/video/somet....
This helps explain the results I presented in Raw Broccoli and Bladder Cancer Survival (nutritionfacts.org/video/raw-b....
OK, but what’s so great about this sulforaphane stuff? For a taste, see:

The next broccoli recipe I post will surely be with mustard powder, guaranteed! Thanks for this informative video
Wow, I've been using mustard powder for years to season my cooked veggies. I never realized how beneficial it was.
Oh great. I've been eating like 4 pounds of frozen broccoli per week for over a year. Looks like I need to add some mustard powder to my grocery list. Thanks, Doc!

Damn man... I've liked this video and during all this time I've forgotten that you had to buy mustard powder! I made even a bigger loss! I've eaten 4 pounds a day for some weeks... So much threwn away :( (frozen broccoli) Atleast I can get something good out of it now! lol
A lot of vegan cheese sauces use mustard anyway so I just dry blended some cashews, nutritional yeast, and a pinch of mustard powder and put in in a old spice jar to shake onto my frozen broccoli. Yum!
actually, i've made salad with brussel sprouts and it's really good and easy. you need to shred, slice or peel of the leaves. shallots, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, parsley, pistachios and brussel sprouts is quite a nice salad.
You've made some awesome videos, but this is my favourite. I also love the one where you showed how to sprout brocolli seeds - I now eat them on a daily basis.
I'm air frying brussel sprouts and keeping them in the fridge. Then when I eat them, I add some mustard powder. Thank you so much!

NutritionFacts.org OMG! This explains everything! Well not everything but it totally helps me because I forgot that it was the honey + mustard ( honey mustard sauce) I dipped my broccoli in because I had a lot left over from the chicken I ate and I can't tell you how happy and more energized it made me feel. Thank you so much for reminding me because I was trying to solve this puzzle for 7 years. It wasn't the chicken, it was the mustard and frozen broccoli I ate! I'm going to the store to get some fresh organic broccoli , kale, purple cabbage, cauliflower and coconut oil tbsp. I also have some organic rainbow carrots that were on sale and I'll just ate those with my homemade honey mustard + ginger sauce.

I’ll sprinkle ground mustard onto the steamed broccoli AFTER taking out of the steamer. There is no value to having the ground mustard sprinkled on before steaming, correct?

They say if it is frozen broccoli we have to wait for 40 minutes to cook after sprinkling mustard. Is this right? Also for broccoli that is not frozen we have to cut and wait for 40 minutes to cook and no need for mustard powder. Is this right?
Who would of thought preparing Broccoli for its heath benefits would be such a complicated business?

It doesn't seem massively complicated, but I see what you mean I suppose. I think it would be beneficial if some of these channels provided some tasty recipes that embodied these principles - but I'm not saying they should spoon-feed me, as it were, when they've provided free information as it is. There do seem to be some recipes on KZread that would help maximise Sulphurophane, even if unknowingly. I've seen 2 or 3 broccoli curry recipes that use mustard seed, for instance. I think pasta and broccoli bake with cheese sauce would work, because mustard goes with cheese sauce anyway. Broccoli soup prepared the way he recommends seems quite straightforward, really.
You Dr are a mine of information and I love, love, love the way you do your videos!!
This was major news for me, as I eat a lot of cooked broccoli. We will all be nutrition experts with Dr. Greger's guidance.
Good to know as I happen to have some wasabi powder and mustard powder on hand along with some broccoli. Glad the mustard powder is good for other things besides making my own mayonnaise.

Doc, you are great! Very informative videos, with explanations, articles (proof), and all. Thanks so much!
I love watching your videos while eating! I've been cooking alot of broccoli of late! Created a broccoli loaf comprised of many veggies, liquefied cashews & dates, TVP, beans and a little vital wheat gluten. baked in the oven @ 350f. Was super filling and good.

Wow...great info!
Oh my god! I love this! Mustard powder is one of my favorite spices and now I can have broccoli soup with all the raw benefits, radish and horseradish sound really tasty too.
Awesome info Dr. Greger! Thank you for all you do!!
But how do we know if the mustard powder still has active myrosinase (the enzyme) left since it’s so sensitive to heat and probably shelf time as well? How do we know if the mustard seed manufacturer didn’t sun-dry or use other heat process? Would appreciate if anyone knows the answer.

From everything I've read, it works. Have not seen one site saying it doesn't work. Some of them refer to it as ground 'brown' mustard, others just say mustard powder. I picked up McCormick Organic ground mustard, hopefully that works ... only about $4, and should last a long time.
Thank you so much for all your efforts to educate us, I have a ND and I didn't know about this, learning important valuable info from your channel. Amazing!
A few years ago, at several parties, they served some raw chopped broccoli with other vegetables on a very large plate. That was the first time I ever ate raw broccoli without salt oil sugar nor anything else. It is not too bad. So that is one of the ideal ways to go for sulforaphane . God bless!
The best channel i found on youtube :-)
So having this in mind, I can just sprinkle some Broccoli on my Broccoli right? I mean, making sure the sprinkled one is raw, then all set? Amazing. Cruciferous vegetables activating cruciferous vegetables, helping themselves be the best version of themselves.
Simply awesome! Thank you!
Great insight and brand new info everyday! Love this, thank you!
Nice to hear that horseradish will do instead of mustard powder.
Fascinating! Never would have figured all that out on my own! Thank you, Dr. G!
Excellent video!!! Thanks Dr. Greger.
That is eye hatte opening! Thank you very much for this explanation and hack ❤
Good to know! Thank you!
I'm doing the 'hack and hold, but also adding a little mustard powder to the meal after cooking, double whammy!
just got myself some mustard powder!!! can't wait to try it on my cooked frozen broccoli!!!
Fascinating!!
Thank you for the knowledge.
This is a fantastic video. I think this recommendation of mustard powder should be included in the daily dozen app.
All I can say is WOW!! This is powerful info!! Thanks so very much for sharing this.... I will be making these changes to how I eat broccoli and sharing the info with anyone who will listen!
Thanks for this video..It is very informative....nice practical tips!
the joke in the beginning is great xD hahaha 😂 👌
So well explained, and so intresting👏👏👏

Wonderful video!!! So useful!
i love you!!!!! this is amazing information. thanks so much
What is this sorcery, summoning the spirits from cooked food ?? ! :-)
this knowledge is incredible!
Thanks doc!
I love your videos, thanks! But for broccoli, how much do you have to chop it to get a good effect. Does it have to be almost ground, or big chunks, or somewhere in between?
Eat your cruciferous vegetables. ; )
AWESOME - THANK YOU!!!!!!!
you are brilliant!
la mostaza en polvo de la semilla molida tiene la enzima mirosinasa the ground mustard powder (seré) has the enzyme myrosinase
Fascinating!
Thanks for that tip
Amazing. Grand!
Amazing
This is supreme inteligencie. Do you know other combination of enzymes contain in most popular seasoning like pepper or other ?? To increase absortion of nutrients. Maybe also with flax seed or other tree holding seeds..
Awesome!
Any grocery mustard powder will do? Or can the myrosinase be destroyed aswell and do I need freshly grinded mustard seeds? And thanks for your amazing videos
great info!!
BEST CHANNEL EVERRRRR
Super info
Im not quite understanding what it means by "chopping". When the broccoli is harvested, isnt it being "chopped"? Or here it means chopping the florets? Is cutting the individual floret into whatever smaller florets considered "chopping"?

I thought the blanching only occurred with frozen vegetables. This chopping should be adequate for fresh produce. I don't understand, either.

the more you chop the more reaction you get. if you are eating raw this means that you have to chew! if eating cooked this means you have to chop (and wait) sufficiently to get the most reaction.

This works with dry, likely unheated, mustard seeds and powder. How do you think it would turn out with prepared mustard? Many prepared mustards are simply, mustard, turmeric, vinegar, salt and maybe a few other spices.

I was interested in this question. After doing a bit of reading it seems that myrosinase gives the kick to mustard. So if the mustard tastes mustardy it should work fine even if it's processed.
Curiously, I just reread a recipe in an antique cookbook which advises to eat Southern style cooked greens with some quick piccallili type mustard flavored pickles stirred in. The pickles have English mustard powder and turmeric. Coincidence, or did people use to learn this stuff by trial and error? Very intriguing, in any case. Thanks for posting!
Does mustardpowder only activates this kind of enzymes or others as well? Btw, many many thanks for your great videos.
very interesting
I love that iloccorB trick...still giggling like a school girl about that one...gonna use that a time or two myself if you dontmind...thanks for the laugh...good video, by the way, as well...
Very interesting video. I do it wrong myself in the past. but I wont in the future. Thanks for these information!
Great video, but here is an important question which was not addressed: what temp does the broccoli have to be when the mustard seed pdr is sprinkled on the cooked (presumably hot) broccoli that the broccoli won't destroy the heat sensitive enzyme?
@nickflynn666
7 жыл бұрын
In order to destroy the enzyme myrosinase you need to heat the broccoli over 60C for 10 minutes. I doubt that sprinkling mustard seed on hot broccoli after it comes out the pan would get anywhere near those temperatures.

@@Yowzoe yes, lightly steaming the broccoli is better. But adding a little mustard seed or just ordinary mustard will add enough myrosinase to be certain of converting all the glucosinates to sulforaphane
I reckon the best way to cook broccoli is the way you will enjoy eating it :) Thanks for the tips.
i love man!!! i love!!!
where can I get that iloccor B ??? My local pharmacy didn't find it in their databases. Also none of their suppliers heard of it.

How finely must broccoli/cauliflower be chopped for the enzyme to be released?
Was about to throw the frozen broccoli until you started talking about mustard, great now I need some of that and I'm good to go
ive been eating broccoli wrong my whole life wtf man
So benefit of enzymes from raw foods is not a myth? In some cases
How finely do you need to chop it?
What about using whole grain mustard?? Is it still beneficial as the mustard powder?Thanks :)
Thanks. I might have missed it, but can you still add the mustard powder to cooked (boiled or steamed) frozen broccoli to get the same - similar, or any - results?

Seemed that way since frozen was pre cooked
What is the difference between a light saute, with the center barely cooked; vs the assumed boiling? I will start "holding" the veggies for 40 minutes either way.
Do you mix the mustard seed wile cooking the broccoli of after?
iloccorB haha u slay me Doc. I luv broccoli, always have. I willl wait at least 40 mins b4 I start cooking it from now on, same with brussies etc. or add mustard powder. I am wondering would the enzymes still be present if I cut the broccoli up and store it in the fridge over several days?
What about mustard on my blended frozen broccoli smothie. Does it work also??
Dr Greger, what color of fernandes (canned soda) is the healthiest (red, green, yellow?)
Could you get the same effect with a garnish of parsley or cilantro/coriander?

Nevermind, was not done with the vid, didnt realize mustard seed could do the job
Does this mean you can use mustard seed powder with broccoli sprout supplements to make an effective amount of sulforaphane?
Does the mustard powder technique still work with broccoli that's been roasted at a higher heat and for a longer cooking time?
Questions: 1) If one were to add raw grocery-store bought broccoli to a pan (or pot) of sauteed vegetables AFTER the heat has been turned off (resulting in broccoli that is barely not raw), would it not be reasonable to expect that while the myrosinase on the surface might be destroyed, enough of the enzyme (those that are in the centre of the broccoli) should in theory remain intact? I realize that the longer the duration between when you add the broccoli and when it goes in your mouth, the more time occurs for the entirety of the broccoli to cook, but would it not be reasonable to suggest that throwing in raw broccoli after killing the heat and eating very quickly should also allow us a trade off between the taste of cooked broccoli and the benefits of raw? 2) When contemplating sauces like mustard and horse-radish, shouldn't we also be wary of the possibility that such condiments have been pasteurized prior to hitting the grocery store shelves? I hope not, since I really do love wasabi. Also, for anyone who's reading this and unaware, it might be of interest that much of the wasabi we eat (and by, 'we' I mean North America) is actually horseradish.
So, either chop the cabbage before heating it or adding another source of the enzyme like mustard seeds to it?
Does mustard cream have the same effect? (the one easily available at any store)
So would the best way to get all the benifits be - Raw B~sprouts with mustard, sound GREAT!!
Hey Doc. Can I Chop the brocolli and not eat them right away? Is there any problem in chopping them, waiting those 40minutes and Save them to eat later? If so, where can i Save them? Thanks for your time
So would I get the same effect if I cooked the cruciferous vegetables with mustard or does it have to be added after cooking specifically?
@sharit7970

No, the mustard powder needs to be added after cooking to keep the enzymes alive.
Does the same thing happen with cabbage (green and purple)?
Is this the same thing with frozen fruit? Does it become less nutritious when frozen?
How about using mustard oil ?
