If the broccoli sprouts powder is added to a hot dish such a soup, isn't it possible that the myrosinase enzyme will be inactivated?

Yes, if the dish is too hot, it will inactive the myrosinase enzyme. Therefore, it's best to use the broccoli sprout powder in a cooler dish such as a smoothie, juice, sauce, dressing, etc.

Is any heat applied to the sprouts after harvest? If so could you please elaborate?

Once the broccoli seeds are sprouted, they are immediately frozen, then freeze-dried. There is a small amount of heat applied during the freeze-drying process, but only enough to raise the temperature in the drying chamber to just above the freezing point to sublimate the water out. We test all the finished broccoli sprout powder for myrosinase activity to ensure the enzyme is still active in the finished powder. Hope this helps!

How much sulforaphane per scoop?

We technically do not test for sulforaphane but instead test for the molecule that is a precursor to it, Glucoraphanin. Glucoraphanin turns into Sulforaphane once water is added and as long as there is active myrosinase enzyme present (we also test to ensure active myrosinase enzyme). We do not standardize these to a certain level as our goal is to maintain through freeze-drying the levels that are naturally found in the raw sprouts, but the last batch we tested, tested at approximately 70 mg of glucoraphanin per 1 scoop (3.4 g) of powder. Hope this helps!

Is one scoop the equivalent of only 1/4 of fress brocolly? At $5.00 a cup, 5 cups a week will be $ 100.00

Thanks for the question. This is an organic broccoli SPROUT powder And each scoop is equivalent to 1/4 cup of broccoli sprouts (not mature broccoli... if that’s what you’re looking for we also sell organic broccoli powder). We make our broccoli sprout powder by sprouting broccoli seeds for 4-7 days, then freeze-drying the raw sprouts and grinding them into a powder. If you’re interested in eating broccoli sprouts and you’ve gone through the hassle of continuously sprouting seeds every couple days and are looking for a more convenient daily alternative that still contains high levels of glucoraphanin and active myrosinase, then our powder may be a good fit for you.
