Broccoli microgreens are the young, tender shoots of broccoli plants, typically harvested 7-14 days after germination when the first true leaves appear. These microgreens have a mild, slightly peppery flavor, similar to mature broccoli but with a fresher, more delicate taste. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium, iron, and phosphorus, broccoli microgreens are a powerhouse of nutrition. They are particularly noted for their high levels of sulforaphane, a compound with potential health benefits. Often used to enhance salads, sandwiches, smoothies, and soups, broccoli microgreens add both flavor and a nutritional boost to various dishes. Easy to grow and quick to harvest, they are a favorite among home gardeners and chefs looking to incorporate nutrient-dense greens into their culinary creations.
