You should probably eat more cabbage (and kale and brussels sprouts and broccoli), but why? In this episode Julija talks with Dr. Ilse Renner about her PhD research on glucobrassicin in cabbage and how it's affected by sunlight quality. Tune in and you'll learn what glucobrassicin is, why it's good for you, and how farmers might be able to make their plants produce more of it.
