Selenium helps us produce DNA, it helps our thyroid function properly, and it helps us fight off free radicals. Magically the two are vastly different. Cauliflower is great for moon magic and protection spells. Broccoli is used to represent our connection with nature, our adaptability and our strength. These two cruciferae working together creates a powerhouse of nutrients and energies to help any family live a long and happy life.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Liberation Serif, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> For stability in the home, as well as a little protection, we have purple potatoes and cabbage.
