Studies have shown that the glucoraphanin content of broccoli sprouts can increase significantly as they mature. As the sprouts grow, they accumulate more glucoraphanin. Therefore, harvesting the sprouts at a later stage can lead to higher glucoraphanin content

Sulforaphane formation capacity is closely linked to the glucoraphanin content. When broccoli sprouts are consumed or crushed, an enzyme called myrosinase is activated, which converts glucoraphanin into sulforaphane. The availability of myrosinase and the amount of glucoraphanin present determine the sulforaphane formation capacity

A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that the sulforaphane content in broccoli sprouts peaked approximately 3-4 days after germination. They found a significant increase in sulforaphane formation during this period. Harvesting the sprouts at this specific stage will ensure the highest sulforaphane formation capacity

It is important to note that both glucoraphanin and sulforaphane levels can decrease if broccoli sprouts are stored for an extended period after harvest. These compounds are sensitive to heat, light, and oxygen exposure. Therefore, consuming the sprouts shortly after harvest is recommended to obtain the maximum health benefits

In summary, the harvesting time of broccoli sprouts does influence their glucoraphanin content and sulforaphane formation capacity. Harvesting the sprouts at a later stage will increase the glucoraphanin content, while an optimal time for sulforaphane formation is approximately 3-4 days after germination. It is crucial to consume the sprouts shortly after harvest to ensure they retain their nutritional value
