Sulforaphane is a compound that prevents cancer by 'assisting the body to create an enzyme that prevents tumors from forming. The test showed sulforaphane from broccoli reduced cancer by 60-80 percent (Life Extension Dec. 1997). Further studies showed that 'sulforaphane aided in shrinking tumors already present' (Dr. David G. Williams.-Alternatives Jan. 1998) Perhaps the most amazing fact about sulforaphane is that it does not concentrate on certain organs or particular cancers. Because it fights cancers on a cellular level it helps all organs against all forms of cancer. Sulforaphane is found in large quantities in broccoli, and increased levels of 30-50 times the potency are found in broccoli sprouts, thus making broccoli sprouts among the most potent anticarcinogens in the food area. Handy Pantry Broccoli Capsules are made from organically grown broccoli sprouts, carefully vacuum dried to preserve their sulforaphane content. Each 250 mg capsule is the equivalent in sulforaphane to 9 ounces of freshly grown broccoli sprouts, the highest potency available anywhere! Handy Pantry Broccoli Capsules are lab essayed and quality guaranteed.

This is Plum Flower brand's nitrogen-flushed vacuum pack. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. Sulfur Free, Chlorine Free, Aluminum Phosphate Free. Sulfites are used to give herbs the appearance of freshness. As with dried fruit. un-sulfured herbs look different than those that are adulterated with preservatives. Herbs that are preservative free are more natural looking and are generally darker. The brightness of the herbs may be appealing, but it indicates the presence of harmful additives. Despite their appearance, unsulfured herbs are more fresh and safer than regular commercially available products. The use of sulfur, chlorine and aluminum phosphate was made unnecessary through the establishment of Plum Flower processing stations in China. Herb harvesters slice and process the herbs fresh, avoiding the need to rehydrate dried herbs later to process. This first step is crucial, as rehydration leads to decomposition and thus the need for preservatives. The herbs are then packed and the packages vacuum-packed, injected with nitrogen, and sealed. The nitrogen process combined with the lack of sulfur treatment inhibits the growth of anaerobic organisms, resulting in safer, higher quality herbs. After opening, store in a cool dry place. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present.

The name Broccoli comes from the Italian word for 'cabbage sprout' and indeed, broccoli is a relative of cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Broccoli is versatile, truly delicious, and broccoli and broccoli sprouts appear to help prevent stomach cancer. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/05/28/health/main510308.shtml: 'Broccoli and broccoli sprouts kill a bacterium which a lot of us actually have,' Jed W. Fahey of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine told CBS Radio News. 'It doesn't make most of us sick, but some of us it can give ulcers to and eventually lead to stomach cancer.' In laboratory tests the chemical sulforaphane killed helicobacter pylori, a bacteria that causes stomach ulcers and often fatal stomach cancers. 'Sulforaphane does protect against tumors or cancer at multiple organ sites in many animal models,' said Fahey. 'It looks very much like it is also protective in humans.' And the good news is there appears to be enough of it in broccoli sprouts and some varieties of broccoli to benefit people who eat the vegetables. The researchers could not say how much broccoli one would have to eat for there to be an impact, something they said could not be determined without long-term tests involving humans. 'The levels were well within the range that you would expect to achieve by eating a serving of broccoli,' Fahey said. The findings are reported in Tuesday's issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. Broccoli sprouts are tiny three-day-old plants that resemble alfalfa sprouts and have a peppery flavor. 'I feel quite comfortable suggesting people eat more fruits and vegetables, specifically cruciferous vegetables, specifically broccoli,' Fahey said. 'We know it's safe and healthy...we know sulforaphane is effective in protecting against cancers.' Dr. Paul Talalay, a co-researcher at Johns Hopkins, had previously reported sulforaphane is an effective anticancer agent and the new studies extended that work to the bacteria that causes stomach cancer and ulcers.

Dr. Weil: http://www.drweil.com/app/cda/drw_cda.html-command=TodayQA-pt=Question-questionId=70306 Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) looks like a grain and tastes like a grain but isnt one. Instead, it is a relative of rhubarb, and because it is gluten free, it is an ideal food for those allergic to the gluten in wheat and other true grains. Nutritionally, buckwheat provides vitamins B1 and B2, the minerals potassium, magnesium, phosphate and iron (buckwheat contains more iron than cereal grains; and nearly twice the amount of the amino acid lysine found in rice. Buckwheat bran (farinetta) contains rutin, a flavonoid known to reduce cholesterol, lower blood pressure and maintain the strength and flexibility of capillaries. A recently discovered compound in buckwheat called fagopyritol seems to have potential to help manage type II diabetes. A 1995 study from the Johns Hopkins Medical Institute showed that eating 30 grams of buckwheat daily can lower blood pressure. And because buckwheat grain is digested more slowly than other carbohydrates it can leave you feeling full longer and improve glucose tolerance among the carbohydrate sensitive.

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Mung bean sprouts are the distinctive plump silver sprouts with two yellowish 'horns' at one end and a scraggly tail. In most instances, when a recipe calls for bean sprouts, they are talking about mung bean sprouts, from these, whole green mung beans. For both nutrition and safety, sprouts need to be fresh. They will not keep long - about 4 days in the refrigerator, maximum. Fresh bean sprouts are extremely nutritious. Both the texture and taste of mung bean sprouts - crunchy with a delicate hint of sweetness - enhances a number of popular Chinese dishes, from Egg Rolls to stir-fries and salads. In The Oxford Companion to Food, Alan Davidson notes that stir-frying bean sprouts releases a protein that isn't available when they are eaten raw. However, to maintain their crisp texture, they shouldn't be stir-fried for longer than about thirty seconds. Marinated Mung Bean Sprouts: http://www.recipesource.com/fgv/beans-grains/mung-bean-sprouts1.html: Yield: 10 servings 2 lb Mung bean sprouts 1 ts Crushed garlic 2 c Boiling salted water 2 tb Toasted sesame seeds 2 lg Green onions, tops only 2 tb Sesame seed oil 1 ts Salt Pinch or cut the root end from mung bean sprouts; wash sprouts well. Drop sprouts into boiling water, cover, turn off heat and let sit for 2 or 3 minutes (sprouts should remain crunchy). Drain, but do not rinse. In a medium-size bowl, combine sprouts with green onion tops, salt, garlic, sesame seeds, sesame oil; mix well to blend. Makes 10 side-dish servings. Chinese Egg Roll Recipe: http://chinesefood.about.com/library/blrecipe305.htm: Egg rolls make a great snack, appetizer, or addition to a meal. (This recipe makes the thicker egg roll that is popular in western Chinese restaurants. Cantonese Spring Rolls and Mini Spring Rolls are a lighter, more authentic Chinese roll.) Ingredients 1 package egg roll wrappers (4½ inch by 5½ inch) Filling 1 pound fresh pork (or barbecued pork) 1 medium onion (sliced) 2 stalks celery, cut diagonally ½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced 6 water chestnuts (fresh if possible), sliced ½ pound suey choy, sliced thinly, 1 inch lengthwise 2 green onions, diced 1 pound fresh bean sprouts Pork Seasonings 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon oyster sauce salt and pepper to taste a bit (less than 1 teaspoon) cornstarch Gravy Mixture 4 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon cornstarch ½ teaspoon soy sauce 2 teaspoons oyster sauce salt, pepper, accent (if desired) to taste 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water* Oil for stir-frying 2 to 4 cups oil for deep-frying Directions Mix seasoning ingredients together. Cut the pork into thin strips, add the seasonings and marinate the pork for between 10 and 15 minutes. While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables, and the gravy mixture. Heat wok and add oil. When oil is ready, add the celery and onion and stir-fry.

They are rich in protein as well as vitamin A, the vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as various minerals and enzymes. Alfalfa sprouts have a mild flavor, mild crunch, big time nutrition, and are easy to grow. From seed to sprout in 5 - 6 days. This sweet-smelling nutritive grass is one of the most nutritious foods in the world. Alfalfa is a rich source of Vitamins A, B Complex, C, D, E, K, biotin, carotenes, calcium, phosphorus, choline, inositol, PABA, octacosonal, trace minerals including iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, chlorophyll, and many other nutrients. It is an excellent tonic for the whole body, and it may help build iron levels in blood. Animal studies indicate that Alfalfa's saponins block cholesterol aborption and thereby prevent arterial plaque. Alfalfa's isolflavones have an estrogen-like effect, thus confirming Alfalfa's traditonal use for menopausal symptoms, It contains natural fluoride that may help rebuild tooth decay and strengthen tooth enamel. It is a good infection fighter and and may help cleanse the body of toxins. Alfalfa, containing eight digestive enzymes, thereby aiding the digestion of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The resultant improved assimilation is helpful for gastritis, indigestion, morning sickness, and nausea. Alfalfa tea is an appetite stimulator. Good for the pituitary gland and to help the quantity and quality of mothers milk. Two tablespoons of Alfalfa leaf contain: * Twice as much calcium as an ordinary glass of milk * Almost as much protein as one hamburger * Nearly the same amount of iron as two ounces of liver * Enough B-complex to soothe upset nerves * Plenty of enzymes for good metabolism of ingested fats * Sufficient fiber to lower high cholesterol American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'On taking large doses of an infusion of the leaves of alfalfa as one would drink tea or coffee, there is a sensation of warmth in the stomach with fullness of the blood vessels of the head.' 'There is an increased secretion of the kidneys from this agent and in the female, of the milk glands; increased peristaltic action of the bowels; increased appetite; increased assimilation of food, and increased weight.' 'In every case so administered, the patient showed a satisfactory increase in flesh and strength. The digestive apparatus, whatever the disorder, assumed its normal function, and in some cases the patients took on a fair increase in flesh.' 'Dr. Bradley believes that a tea made of alfalfa will readily take the place of ordinary tea and coffee, and as a beverage for certain periods, he has found it to take away the taste for these commoner beverages and preserve an excellent condition of the stomach.' 'He finds in alfalfa a superlative restorative tonic, but it does not act as a stimulant, after the manner of alcoh

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Beansprouts have outstanding nutritional value. They are rich in protein as well as vitamin A, the vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as various minerals and enzymes. Barely Grass beansprouts are the most nutritionally active form of Barley Grass. Green barley leaves contain a wide spectrum of amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Among the vitamins are beta carotene and five B vitamins, including vitamin B12 (which is often thought to come only from animal sources). Barley Grass also contains folic acid and the antioxidant vitamins C and E. Minerals include calcium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. A recent laboratory analysis on green Barley Grass has turned up traces of more than 70 other minerals. It's a whole food loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, beta-carotene, calcium, chlorophyll, fiber and many more nutrients your body needs every day. Barley Grass contains eighteen amino acids, including the eight essential onesthat is, the amino acids that we must get from our diet. The body cannot produce them itself. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are the major constituents of every cell and body fluid (except urine and bile) and are thus necessary for the continual cell building, cell regeneration, and energy production that we need for life. An added benefit of the green barley leaf proteins is that they are polypeptides; smaller proteins that can be directly absorbed by the blood, where they promote cell metabolism (the chemical changes that we need to live) and neutralize substances that are bad for our health. Green barley leaves contain a multitude of the bodys spark plugs, enzymes. Enzymes are the catalysts for the bodys essential chemical reactions and are responsible for our digestive processes, for providing cellular energy, and for antioxidant effects. Barley Grass also contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been studied for its potential as a deodorant, in stimulating tissue growth, and in stimulating red blood cells in connection with blood supply. Perhaps most remarkable is the similarity between chlorophyll and the red pigment in blood. Research in the 1940s demonstrated that the two pigments react the same during breakdown. According to an article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (Jan. 4, 1995), chlorophyll fed to laboratory animals reduces absorption of three dietary carcinogens: heterocyclic amines (found in cooked muscle meats), polycyclic hydrocarbons (found in smoked and barbecued foods), and aflatoxin (a mold on peanuts). The chlorophyll formed complex compounds with the carcinogens while they were still in the digestive tract, limiting their bioavailability. Chlorophyll has also been found to reduce fecal, urinary, and body odor in geriatric patients. Barley Grass has a high alkalizing effect, which helps keep the ratio between acidity and alkalinity in our

Chia seed sprouts, of course, are the 'fur' on the famous 'chia pets.' Chia seeds do not sprout correctly in normal seed sprouters  they need a porous material such as earthenware  hence the earthenware chia pet. Beansprouts have outstanding nutritional value. They are rich in protein as well as vitamin A, the vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as various minerals and enzymes. The fresh crunch they add to your salads and sandwiches cannot be beaten. Chia seeds can also be roasted and ground, or mixed with corn and cooked in water to make a gruel called alole that is flavored with honey, chilies, or pimento. Chia seeds infused with water and flavored with lime juice make a mucilaginous drink that is still called 'chia fresca' in modern-day Mexico. It is said that one tablespoon can sustain a person for 24 hours. Chia was the basic survival ration of Aztec warriors. In Aztec medicine chia was used to stimulate saliva and to relieve joint pain and sore skin. Chia is an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber that can absorb sterols. When mixed with amaranth or oats, the amino acid profile balances out, offering twice as much protein as other grains. The fibers aid in intestinal healing and absorption of nutrients. Chia's water-soluble fibers, mucilages, cause it to form a gelatin when immersed in water for 30 minutes. Researchers believe this same gel-forming phenomenon takes place in the stomach, creating a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, thus slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar. In addition to the obvious benefits for diabetics, this slowing of sugar conversion aids endurance. The chia's hydrophilic colloidal properties aid the digestion of any foods contributing to a sour stomach.

Lentil Salad: http://robbiehaf.com/Recipes/L/305.htm: Serves : 10 Prep. Time : 0:30 1 cup dried lentils 1 cup diced carrot 1 cup diced red onion 2 cloves garlic - minced 1 bay leaf ½ tsp. dried thyme water - as needed ¼ cup olive oil 2 Tbls. lemon juice - preferably fresh ½ cup diced celery ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley 1 tsp. salt ¼ tsp. ground black pepper -In a saucepan combine lentils, carrots, onion, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme. -Add enough water to cover by 1'. -Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until lentils are tender but not mushy. -Drain lentils and vegetables and remove bay leaf. -Add olive oil, lemon juice, celery, parsley, salt, and pepper. -Toss to mix and serve at room temperature. Vegetarian Pastichio: http://www.recipecottage.com/vegetarian/pastitsio.html: This comes in three layers, the bottom layer is a layer of cooked pasta, the second is a layer of spicy lentil and tomato mix, the third is a topping of a mix of eggs, milk and cheese. Very tasty and filling too. 6 oz pasta 8 oz red lentils olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 green pepper, chopped some mushrooms, chopped large tin of tamatoes, chopped ½ tsp oregano ½ tsp cinnamon (though I use more) pint of water or unsalted stock salt pepper for the topping: 2 eggs 3/4 pint of white sauce/bechamel 3 oz grated cheddar cheese Heat the olive oil and fry the onions till they're soft then add the pepper and the mushrooms and the garlic and cook. You can also add anything else at this stage that seems a good thing, a courgette (zucchini if you're American) or even a chilli chopped very fine. Mix in everything else (LOTS of cinnamon!) and then bring to the boil and cook until the liquid has mostly gone and you are left with a nice thick spicy sauce and the lentils are soft. I find that you usually have to add some boiling water during the cooking. Now you can heat the oven to 200 C, which is errrrrr 400 F, gas mark 6. Cook the pasta till it's just cooked and put it in the bottom of an oven dish, spoon the lentil mix on top and then on the top put the beaten eggs/white sauce mix and then sprinke the cheese (and also some breadcrumbs if you like a bit of a crunch like me) and put it all in the oven for about 30 - 40 minutes or until it's nice and brown on top.
