Brussel sprouts

Brussels sprouts, as with broccoli and other brassicas, contains sulforaphane, a chemical believed to have potent anticancer properties. Although boiling reduces the level of the anticancer compounds, steaming, and stir frying do not result in significant loss.[14]
Brussels sprouts and other brassicas are also a source of indole-3-carbinol, a chemical which boosts DNA repair in cells and appears to block the growth of cancer cells.
Excess eating of this vegetable may not be suitable for heart patients taking anticoagulant because it contains vitamin K. In one such reported incident, doctors determined that reason behind worsening condition of a heart patient was excess eating of Brussels sprouts. This vegetable is rich in vitamin K that is used by body for blood clotting so some heart patients taking anticoagulants may have to avoid its excess intake.
