Guest guest Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 the more bitter the cruciferous veg, the better the anti cancer properties. with the leafy cruciferous veg, you get better anti cancer properties if you shred them finely before you cook them. You start an enzymatic process that changes one phyonutrient to another when you cut them (sorry, can't remember the names, I think one was anthocyanin but don't take my word on that). heat stops this process so that is why it is important to cut/chop/shred/blend the greens before instead of after cooking if you want hte most anti cancer fighting goodness.
