"To get the most benefits from cruciferous vegetables we should consume them raw since some benefits are lost due to the heat of cooking. All of them may be chopped, blended, chewed or juiced since these all break the vegetables cell walls. So as we chew these vegetables we release the beneficial components. The key wording here is some…not all benefits are lost to cooking. Consuming a large variety of these vegetables regularly is the key to boosting your immune system and fighting cancer. When possible eat them raw but don’t avoid them if you can’t eat them raw or you do not like them raw. Try to undercook these vegetables slightly to preserve their health benefits."
