Broccoli Microgreens

Description

Our broccoli microgreens are grown fresh in Windsor, Ontario and cut just before delivery. They have a mild, slightly earthy taste. So they fit easily into smoothies, salads, wraps and rice bowls.

Why Choose Broccoli Microgreens?

Broccoli microgreens are young broccoli plants. We harvest them about 10 days after they sprout. At this stage, the greens are tender and crisp. They also hold a high level of nutrients for their size.

For example, broccoli sprouts and microgreens are a natural source of glucoraphanin. Your body turns this compound into sulforaphane when you chew the greens. In addition, they provide vitamin C, vitamin K and fibre. You can compare broccoli nutrients on the USDA FoodData Central database.

How to Eat Broccoli Microgreens

Most people enjoy our broccoli microgreens raw. That way, you keep their fresh crunch and natural enzymes. Here are a few simple ideas:

• Morning smoothie: Add a handful to any fruit smoothie. The fruit hides the flavour completely.
• Warm bowls: Fold them into rice or grain bowls right before serving.
• Sandwiches and wraps: Use them in place of lettuce for extra crunch.
• Salads: Mix them with leafy greens, nuts and a light dressing.

However, try not to cook them for long. High heat softens the leaves and lowers some nutrients.
