Why this works
Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable containing glucosinolates, compounds studied for their role in how the body metabolizes estrogen — evidence here is still preliminary. Tahini adds calcium and healthy fats without dairy, and the lemon juice in the dressing helps the body absorb non-heme iron from the broccoli.
