Cruciferous vegetables and health

I wanted to share with you that all Cruciferous vegetables have health benefits in preventing heart attack,preventing stroke and helpful in cancer prevention.
What are these vegetables?
They belong to Brassica family .
They include Broccoli,Brussels sprouts,Cauliflower,cabbage,Kale,mustard,radish,rutabaga and many more.
As such if you smell Brussels sprouts,there is no smell but,if you you cook them,the compound glucosinolate is released which gives the particular flavour for the Brussels sprouts.
Roast them in oven for 15 minutes and you have delicious vegetables ready to eat!
More to come on this group.
