Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and is closely related to cauliflower. Its cultivation originated in Italy. Broccolo, its Italian name, means “cabbage sprout.” Because of its different components, broccoli provides a range of tastes and textures, from soft and flowery (the floret) to fibrous and crunchy (the stem and stalk). Broccoli contains glucosinolates, phytochemicals which break down to compounds called indoles and isothiocyanates (such as sulphoraphane). Broccoli also contains the carotenoid, lutein. Broccoli is an excellent source of the vitamins K, C, and A, as well as folate and fiber. Broccoli is a very good source of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and the vitamins B6 and E.

Tinctures capture and concentrate the vital healing power of herbs in a way that can be conveniently stored for years. Made with a solvent, usually alcohol, they are easy to use when the need arises. John Redden is owner of Viriditas Herbal Products, a manufacturer of professional grade herbal tinctures used by practicing herbalists, naturopaths, and doctors. Every summer John goes on extended collecting trips across Ontario to gather the wild herbs he needs to make his tinctures, and many in the healing profession consider his tinctures to be among the best available. In this seminar John shows how you can make and use your own tinctures made with herbs from your garden. John maintains an active clinic alongside his tincture business, and he has taught herbal pharmacy at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and was editor of the Canadian Journal of Herbalism.
