Description

Broccoli Microgreens are the immature shoots of a broccoli plant. They’re small and tender, only about one to three inches tall. They have just a couple of little green leaves at the top. Broccoli Microgreens have a flavor that’s similar to mature broccoli but milder and less bitter. Some people describe the taste as slightly nutty or earthy, with a hint of sweetness. The little shoots are tender and delicate, with a crisp, slightly crunchy texture.

Compared to broccoli, Broccoli Microgreens have a higher content of the antioxidant sulforaphane, which helps lower fasting blood glucose levels and can protect against heart disease and cancer. Considering their tiny size, these super-small plants pack more nutrition than their full-grown counterparts and are some of the most nutritionally dense plants to consume. In fact, Broccoli Microgreens contain up to 40 times the nutrients found in mature broccoli. They contain protein, fiber, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, manganese, vitamins A, C, and E, nitrites, and zinc.
