Because of Mark
In November 2022 the light of the world dimmed when we lost
Mark Douglas Cosgrove. Mark was a beloved husband, father, grandpa "pod", friend, artist, and so much more. Marks battle with brain cancer was our inspiration to start growing broccoli sprouts to share with our friends and family.

Cancer Prevention
Most of the health benefits of broccoli sprouts come from their high level of glucoraphanin. Your body converts this compound into sulforaphane, which protects your cells against inflammation and a wide variety of diseases. Sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables slow tumor growth and stop benign carcinogens from converting into active ones.
Mental Health
Some studies have shown sulforaphane to be an effective treatment for a number of mental health disorders. Researchers have found that sulforaphane may help reduce levels of a compound called glutamate, which has been linked to disorders like depression and schizophrenia.
Though the research isn’t conclusive, there is evidence that the sulforaphane in broccoli sprouts may help people with mental health problems manage their symptoms and lower their doses of traditional medicines.
Stomach Ulcer Treatment
The sulforaphane found in broccoli sprouts helps fight the type of bacteria that causes ulcers. One study on mice found that sulforaphane may even be more effective at treating ulcers than traditional antibiotics.
