What this test is

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in your blood that can react to proteins found in broccoli. It is a laboratory test used to help assess whether your immune system has become sensitized to broccoli. The results are interpreted by a clinician alongside your symptoms and other findings.

What it measures

  • Broccoli-specific IgE — Reflects the level of antibodies that may react to broccoli proteins
  • Total IgE — Sometimes measured to provide context for allergic sensitization
  • Other vegetable-specific IgE — May be tested together to check for related allergies

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test if you have had symptoms such as hives, itching, or digestive upset after eating broccoli or related vegetables. It is typically used as part of a broader evaluation, not as a stand-alone diagnosis.
