Matters needing attention in eating cruciferous vegetables:

First, choose varieties with low glucosinolates, such as Chinese cabbage, baby cabbage, broccoli and mustard with relatively high contents. The general rule is that the content of glucosinolates may be higher in dark color and strong taste; The color and taste are light, and the content may be low.

Second, before cooking, blanching in boiling water for a few minutes destroys the way of converting glucosinolates into isothiocyanates. Patients with diarrhea and intestinal obstruction should strictly limit the intake of cruciferous vegetables.

The reason is that these vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, which can absorb water and swell in the intestine, increase the volume of feces and promote intestinal peristalsis, thus aggravating the symptoms of diarrhea or intestinal obstruction. Patients should first treat the symptoms in a targeted manner, and then gradually add cruciferous vegetables back to the plate after the symptoms improve.
