The molecule is formed during the digestion of broccoli, so unless you’re gonna put your digested broccoli back into your mouth it probably won’t have the desired effect.

So it seems that during the digestion in stomach acid the enzyme myrosinase is released from these plants (https://www.diindolylmethane-dim.com/formation.htm) responsible for the intermediate product DIM.

This means we could have DIM present in acidic meals of these vegetables, like for example Kimchi
