Glucosinolate Content of Broccoli Seed Cultivars

[Bolt_Upright]

I was about to buy some broccoli sprouting seeds and thought I should try and figure out if they were high in Glucoraphanin. Good thing too, because the seeds I was looking at were weak!

Glucoraphanin and 4-Hydroxyglucobrassicin Contents in Seeds

of 59 Cultivars of Broccoli, Raab, Kohlrabi, Radish, Cauliflower,

Brussels Sprouts, Kale, and Cabbage researchgate.net/publicatio...

I was about to get Waltham, but per the table they are the third weakest. Back to shopping.

It's a shame the article doesn't list Calabrese, which seems to be the most commonly sold cultivar for sprouting.

I get my seeds from this company. You can reach out to ask if they have data on their seeds sprouting.com

Thank you so much! I have been wanting to explore the world outside of Amazon!

I contacted Johnny's Selected Seeds (my usual source) and a customer service rep told me via chat that they don't know what cultivar they sell, it varies depending on what their supplier finds is germinating better. So I am wondering if the seeds are actually Raab, which think tend to sprout a bit faster. Might explain why I'm having trouble w/ GERD again. Trying to decide between BROCQ capsules and Food to Live seeds from amazon.
