Cruciferous vegetables can contribute a surprising amount of protein to the diet-over 25% of the Daily Value in 3 cups-and at a very low calorie cost. Two hundred calories of steamed broccoli will provide you with 20 grams of protein-not as much as the 30 grams in two hundred calories of roasted chicken breast-but still a very substantial amount. We suspect that the substantial protein content of cruciferous vegetables may contribute to their risk-lowering impact on certain cancers, partially due to their support of detoxification. (Especially during Phase 2 detoxification, certain amino acids found in protein are known to play a critical role.) http://whfoods.org/
