Cruciferous vegetables are an exceptional family of phytochemicals—nutrient rich vegetables named for their cross-shaped flowers.

Cruciferous vegetables, such as the cabbage family are touted for their powerful healing compounds that exhibit cancer-fighting activity, particularly against lung, colon, stomach and breast cancers.

This food group can help allergy suffers with mucus build-up, colds, sinus problems. A great source of chromium, these veggies can also regulate insulin and blood sugar levels. This means it's an Anti-Fat Nutrient. Cooking can destroy some of the Anti-oxidants, so do eat it raw as shown in my recipe.
