Does Sulforaphane get destroyed by heat?

Does boiling destroy sulforaphane?

If your using broccoli sprouts heating it to no more than 60 degrees celsius for 10 minutes (70 degrees celsius is pushing it)! I suppose it is also true for any vegetable containing high sulforaphanes?

  1. So, is there such a thing as too much broccoli? If your using regular broccoli chop it up or crush it and let sit for 15 minutes or more to extract the sulforaphane before eating it, preferably raw!
