Broccoli – the wild patriarch of the cabbage family

The origin of a whole plant family

Broccoli is considered the “ancestral form” of an entire vegetable family.
It is said that from this single wild cabbage, through human cultivation, we got: broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, white cabbage, and red cabbage.

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea) tincture

No.12

Wild broccoli contains numerous secondary plant compounds such as glucoraphanin, sulforaphane, flavonoids, vitamins, and fiber, all associated with health benefits.

A glimpse of the ancient broccoli

A wild, tender coastal cabbage with many small sprouts, intense aromas, scattered buds, and robust vitality – the ancestral form of our modern broccoli.
Its nutrients and active compounds are very similar to modern broccoli but more concentrated, as wild forms contain higher levels of secondary plant compounds.

Effects of wild broccoli

Strong antioxidant:
Vitamin C, polyphenols, flavonoids, and sulforaphane protect cells from oxidative stress.

Anti-inflammatory:
Isothiocyanates act as natural “inflammation brakes.”

Supports natural cellular defense:
Sulforaphane activates the body’s detoxification enzymes (phase II enzymes).

Good for digestion & gut health:
Fiber and bitter compounds support digestion, gut flora, and healthy cholesterol levels.
Wild cabbage was historically a classic digestive vegetable.

Cardiovascular support:
Potassium, fiber, and polyphenols help regulate blood pressure, support vessel health, and assist cholesterol metabolism.

Immune support:
Vitamin C and secondary plant compounds strengthen immunity.

Liver support:
Bitter compounds, sulforaphane, and chlorophyll aid liver function.
Wild cabbage was traditionally valued as a “cleansing vegetable.”

📌Our recommendation is:

Above all, to eat a healthy diet, engage in sports, enjoy daily movement outdoors in nature, and drink clean water.
