ahh... Also an interesting thing to not...
quoted from wikipedia, and the segment I've clipped has sources.
"Recently, scientists have discovered woad might be used to prevent cancer, having more than 20 times the amount of glucobrassicin contained in broccoli. Young leaves when damaged can produce more glucobrassicin, up to 65 times as much."
