This is a randomized, double-blinded, three-phase crossover trial investigating the bioavailability of SF following consumption of three types of broccoli + stilton soup containing different concentrations of glucoraphanin. The three types of soup are standard broccoli and stilton soup, beneforte broccoli and stilton soup, and beneforte extra broccoli and stilton soup.

Healthy

Participants will be randomised to eat one portion (300g) of broccoli soup for each phase.

The Bioavailability Of Sulforaphane From Broccoli Soups Study (BOBS)

An Intervention Study to Assess the Bioavailability of Sulforaphane Delivered by Glucoraphanin-enriched Broccoli Soups in Healthy Subjects

To measure the total excretion of SF in urine collected for 24 hours after consumption of one pot (300g) of three types of broccoli + stilton soup containing different concentrations of glucoraphanin, SF precursor.

• To measure SF and its metabolites in plasma following consumption of one pot (300g) of three types of broccoli + stilton soup containing different concentrations of glucoraphanin.
