Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts are an antioxidant Superfood because they are a top source of "indirect" antioxidants called glucosinolates and an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin C (providing over 100% of the Daily Value). Glucosinolates are phytonutrients that act as "indirect" antioxidants stimulating the body's own natural antioxidant systems. This cascade of antioxidant activity -- unlike the one-shot, finite amount you get from most direct antioxidants -- actually cycles over and over within the physiology, continuing to protect your system for as many as 3 to 4 days after the glucosinolate-containing food has been consumed.
