The specific chemical composition of vegetables belonging to Brassicaceace , as regard both nutrients and non-nutrients, renders them particularly suitable for the health food production chain. The ability of these plants to accumulate heavy metals may be utilised for phytoremediation of arable soils, but also as a vehicle to fortify foods in micronutriens such as selenium. The bioactive organosulfur compounds, especially glucosinolates and their degradation products are known to target a number of biological processes implicated in human wellbeing. Even the agricultural waaste of brassica crops represents a valuable raw material for crop protection in the process of biofumigation, at the same time constituting green manure.
