Among them, the cruciferous (Brassicaceae) sprouts stand out due to their high contents of glucosinolates (GLSs) and phenolic compounds. In order to obtain sprouts enriched in these phytochemicals, elicitation is being increasing used as a sustainable practice. Besides, the evidence regarding the bioavailability and the biological activity of these compounds after their dietary intake has also attracted growing interest in recent years, supporting the intake of the natural food instead of enriched ingredients or extracts. Also, there is a growing interest regarding their uses, consumption, and applications for health and wellbeing, in different industrial sectors. In this context, the present review aims to compile and update the available knowledge on the fundamental aspects of production, enrichment in composition, and the benefits upon consumption of diverse edible cruciferous sprouts, which are sources of phenolic compounds and glucosinolates, as well as the evidence on their biological actions in diverse pathophysiological situations and the molecular pathways involved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu11020429","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,20]],"date-time":"2019-02-20T03:05:52Z","timestamp":1550631952000},"page":"429","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":97,"title":["Sorting out the Value of Cruciferous Sprouts as Sources of Bioactive Compounds for Nutrition and Health"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"\u00c1ngel","family":"Abell\u00e1n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Phytochemistry and Healthy Foods Lab, Research Group on Quality, Safety and Bioactivity of Plant Foods, Department of Food Science and Technology, CEBAS (CSIC), Campus Universitario de Espinardo 25, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6232-712X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ra\u00fal","family":"Dom\u00ednguez-Perles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Phytochemistry and Healthy Foods Lab, Research Group on Quality, Safety and Bioactivity of Plant Foods, Department of Food Science and Technology, CEBAS (CSIC), Campus Universitario de Espinardo 25, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6547-8764","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego A.","family":"Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Phytochemistry and Healthy Foods Lab, Research Group on Quality, Safety and Bioactivity of Plant Foods, Department of Food Science and Technology, CEBAS (CSIC), Campus Universitario de Espinardo 25, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4751-3917","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristina","family":"Garc\u00eda-Viguera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Phytochemistry and Healthy Foods Lab, Research Group on Quality, Safety and Bioactivity of Plant Foods, Department of Food Science and Technology, CEBAS (CSIC), Campus Universitario de Espinardo 25, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tifs.2016.11.010","article-title":"Bioactive compounds and bioactivities of germinated edible seeds and sprouts: An updated review","volume":"59","author":"Gan","year":"2017","journal-title":"Trends Food Sci.
