What is the best way to eat cruciferous vegetables?
Bill, one of my loyal “Hot at Home” customers, is wondering if cruciferous vegetables should be eaten cooked? Or fermented?
He also wonders if cruciferous vegetables contain harmful “anti-nutrients” that can be removed by the cooking process?
And on that note, will consuming them cooked make them more digestible?
Or should they eaten raw to get the maximum nutritional benefits from them?
He’s also wondering if there’s any validity to what he’s been hearing from other sources that these types of veggies may contain iodine that can prevent (or cause) thyroid problems.
Wow! That’s a whole lot of wondering!
I have to admit, Bill had me a little stumped on some of these.
And since I wanted to make absolutely sure I had my facts straight, I enlisted the help of one of my very good friends and expert nutritionist, Cat Ebeling, co-author of “The Fat Burning Kitchen” and “101 Foods That Fight Aging” to fill us in on the facts about cruciferous vegetables.
