What is Broccoli?
Broccoli microgreens are the young seedlings of the broccoli plant, concentrated with higher levels of nutrients than mature broccoli. Rich in sulforaphane, a compound with potent antioxidant properties, these microgreens are an excellent addition to a wellness-focused diet and lifestyle.
Broccoli contains more glucoraphanin, a compound which offers cell protection, than any other vegetable, and broccoli microgreens contain between 10 to 100 times more than the vegetable itself.
Broccoli is one of the 16 potent microgreens featured in our products. Each serving, just 1.5g, provides a highly concentrated source of nutrients, making it an easy and convenient way to meet your daily nutritional needs. Our microgreens also support good gut health with gut-friendly bacteria and fibre while helping to bolster immunity, improve energy levels, and reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
How are Broccoli Microgreens Grown?
Broccoli microgreens grow quickly, often ready to harvest within 7-10 days. They are grown in shallow trays filled with compost and thrive from regular watering and sunlight.
