Are you talking about this, or are we talking about the stem of the broccoli. What kind of mustard?

I love horseradish, gets the blood flowing, helps keep my sinuses clear...
I have a little bit at least every day and practically buy it by the quart!
Even got some in my garden. The leaves are good salad veggies also!

This is from the Wikipedia entry on broccoli sprouts: “Broccoli sprouts are 3- to 4-day old broccoli plants that look like alfalfa sprouts but taste like radish.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broccoli_sprouts

Tasting like radish is not a bad thing, IMO.

that's them. I had wasabi with the same meal. There are a number of plants that produce the compound, I guess it is a commonality of the “mustard oil” producers - cabbages are in there

Stores near me only have alfalfa sprouts.
