About this page: Data is drawn from Nutriofia's structured database of published sources (CoFID, USDA, and published analytical literature). The coverage bar shows what percentage of our 1041 foods have been measured for Glucosinolates (total). This is a research tool — nothing here constitutes medical advice.
About Glucosinolates (total)
Glucosinolate
Total glucosinolates represent the combined content of all glucosinolates in cruciferous (brassica) vegetables including broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and rocket. Their hydrolysis products (isothiocyanates, indoles) are linked to reduced risk of several cancers in observational studies.
⚠️ Too little
No deficiency disease; not essential nutrients.
🚫 Too much
No adverse effects from normal dietary amounts. Very large chronic intakes of raw brassicas in iodine-deficient individuals may theoretically affect thyroid function.
