Today I want to talk to you about one of my favorite topics: thyroid health. And one question that always comes up when we talk about the thyroid is about brassicas.
Brassicas, brassicas. It’s hard to refute the value of broccoli and its budding cousins, yet I know there can be so much confusion about these beneficial beauties, especially when it comes to your thyroid health and wellness.
First, what is a brassica?
When we refer to the brassica family, we’re speaking about those cruciferous veggies you know, love, or possibly fear, green leafies such as these:- Broccoli
- Kale
- Brussels sprouts
- Cauliflower
- Collard greens
- Mustard greens
- Broccoli rabe
- Arugula
- Bok choy
- Napa cabbage
- Some roots like radish, turnips, horseradish, and wasabi
