A 100-gram serving of broccoli contains between 4 mg and 150 mg of glucoraphanin, yielding between 0.5 mg and 18 mg of sulforaphane.

"you might get about anywhere between 4 milligrams of glucoraphanin to 100, 150 from 100 grams of broccoli, and that would yield about anywhere from about half a milligram to something like 18 milligrams of sulforaphane." (said at 0:07:55)

No published record matching the claim that a 100-gram serving of broccoli contains between 4 mg and 150 mg of glucoraphanin yielding between 0.5 mg and 18 mg of sulforaphane was located; this does not prove the claim false.
