Quotes About ITCs

If you eat cooked broccoli, kale, bok choy, or other cruciferous vegetables later in a meal, the myrosinase you ate from the raw vegetables will make the cooked veggies produce more ITCs.

When you cook soups with added greens, make sure to process the greens in a blender first, while they are still raw, and then add them to the soup liquid. Blending the greens before they are heated will allow the ITCs to be formed. Note that if you had added them to the soup first, cooked them until soft, and then blended them, the myrosinase would have been deactivated and fewer ITCs would be formed.
