Scientists quantified the reactive polysulfide content of 22 different types of vegetables. They revealed that reactive polysulfides are not only found in the leek genus (Allium), such as onions and garlic but also in the cruciferous family of vegetables (Brassicaceae), such as broccoli and cabbage.
