Add kale and kohlrabi to that as well.
It’s good for reducing high blood pressure. Celery too.
” But does it come in expensive pill form? “
It does come in an expensive freeze-dried powder form, with other ingredients. I am glad it is expensive - hoping that means something. Mix in a glass of plain water or anything, nice taste.
Search something like “ delicious greens 8000 “ gets a lot of info. It comes in flavors - I prefer the original - sort of maybe a mint like flavor.
Copy following from the search:

I say blend the broccoli into tiny little pieces, mix it with flour and use it as breading for shrimp, chicken, etc which is then fried til it turns crisp. Call it ObamaBreading and give it away free. Let the pig promote it on the tube.
Brussel sprouts... cut em in half, put them in a shallow pan, sprinkle them with garlic, pepper, salt, olive oil and a little bit of water and roast them until almost tender. Add parmesan cheese and dried cranberries - “craisins” and finish roasting.
mmm, mmm...
I've read that it is.
I love cabbage but it gives me huge gas. I’m trying to watch my global warming.
I will personally vouch that the amount of sulfonophane in too much raw broccoli will make your lower intestines work overtime, and create a pretty sudden big mess. That's a fact.
Well, phound this: the killing off the H. pylori part comes in sulforaphane pills; 15 cents apiece. Not much phun in that.
A Broccoli recipe from my wife. Place on cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and some parmesan and broil for a few minutes. It is fabulous.
Nitrates: found in spinach seems to be the strength-giving ingredient.

Does Popeye snort marispinach?
Nitrates, which could be one of those key ingredients, interact with bacteria in the mouth to produce nitric oxide. Wow!. Pretty complex ---
I was just diagnosed with H-pilori, and took a round of powerful antibiotics that really didnt agree with me. They put you on two -500 mgs of amoxicillin twice a day, and one 500 mg clarithyimicin twice a day. Lots of side effects. I will start adding more broccoli to my diet, thanks for the info.
You weren’t watching Fox News today. They ran a story of some guy dying from eating Brussels Sprouts. Got an overdose of some vitamin.
However, I will brave them also. Periodically, usually in the winter I can grow some wonderful Brussels Sprouts in my greenhouse in the winter. The rest of the year, they are always ruined by cabbage worms, aphids, or white flies.
I’ve seen the roasted preparation, but have never tried it. Too lazy. I just steam them for 3-4 minutes in my microwave, salt and butter them, enjoy.
