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
