Fresh. Local. Grown to order.
What Are Broccoli Microgreens?
Broccoli microgreens are the young edible seedlings of the broccoli plant, harvested after their first leaves have developed.
They are older than sprouts but much younger than mature broccoli.
Instead of waiting for a full broccoli head to develop, microgreens are enjoyed during this early stage of growth when the young leaves and stems are tender, flavorful, and naturally concentrated with plant nutrients and phytochemicals.
You eat the entire tender stem and leaves.
No chopping broccoli florets.
No complicated preparation.
Just fresh greens ready to add to your meal.
What Do Broccoli Microgreens Taste Like?
Broccoli microgreens have a:
- Mild broccoli flavor
- Fresh, slightly earthy taste
- Gentle cruciferous note
- Tender texture
- Clean finish
They are much milder than many spicy microgreens, making them a great choice for people who are new to microgreens.
They are also especially easy to use with foods you already eat.
Why Add Broccoli Microgreens to Your Diet?
Broccoli belongs to the cruciferous vegetable family, alongside kale, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, arugula, and kohlrabi.
These vegetables naturally contain a group of plant compounds called glucosinolates.
One of the best-known glucosinolates in broccoli is glucoraphanin.
When broccoli plant tissue is chewed or chopped, glucoraphanin can be converted through enzymatic activity into sulforaphane, a naturally occurring plant compound that has become the subject of extensive nutritional research.
Broccoli microgreens provide a convenient whole-food way to include these cruciferous plant compounds as part of a varied, plant-rich diet.
Broccoli Microgreens & Sulforaphane
One Tiny Green With Some Fascinating Plant Chemistry
Sulforaphane is one of the compounds that has made young broccoli plants particularly interesting to nutrition researchers.
Broccoli microgreens contain glucoraphanin, which serves as a precursor to sulforaphane.
When the plant is chewed, an enzyme called myrosinase helps convert glucoraphanin into sulforaphane.
That is one reason eating fresh broccoli microgreens as a whole food can be an appealing way to incorporate cruciferous vegetables into your lifestyle.
Researchers continue to study sulforaphane and other compounds found in broccoli for their roles in cellular processes and overall health.
Rather than thinking of broccoli microgreens as a supplement or treatment, we prefer to think of them as what they are:
A fresh, nutrient-dense whole food that can help you eat more plants every day.
Nutrients & Plant Compounds Found in Broccoli Microgreens
Broccoli microgreens naturally provide a variety of nutrients and beneficial plant compounds.
Depending on growing conditions, maturity, variety, and serving size, broccoli microgreens may provide compounds including:
Glucoraphanin
A naturally occurring glucosinolate found in broccoli and a precursor to sulforaphane.
Sulforaphane
A bioactive plant compound formed from glucoraphanin and studied extensively in nutritional science.
Glucosinolates
Sulfur-containing compounds naturally present in cruciferous vegetables.
Carotenoids
Naturally occurring plant pigments that form part of a varied plant-based diet.
Vitamin C
An essential nutrient that contributes to normal immune function and antioxidant protection.
Vitamin K
An essential vitamin involved in normal blood clotting and bone health.
Other Phytonutrients
Young plants contain numerous naturally occurring compounds that work together as part of the whole food.
The exact nutritional composition of microgreens can vary, which is another reason we encourage eating a variety of plants and microgreens rather than relying on any single food.
Broccoli Microgreens Make Healthy Eating Easier
You do not need an elaborate recipe to eat more greens.
That is one of the reasons we love broccoli microgreens.
Open the container.
Grab a handful.
Add them to what you are already eating.
Broccoli microgreens work especially well for people who want to increase plant variety without completely changing the way they cook.
How to Eat Broccoli Microgreens
Add Them to Avocado Toast
Top avocado toast with a generous handful of broccoli microgreens for extra freshness, texture, and plant variety.
Toss Them Into Salads
Use broccoli microgreens alone or combine them with lettuce, arugula, spinach, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds.
Add Them to Sandwiches & Wraps
Replace or complement lettuce with fresh broccoli microgreens.
Build a Nourishing Grain Bowl
Add them to quinoa, brown rice, lentils, chickpeas, roasted vegetables, tofu, avocado, and your favorite dressing.
Blend Them Into Smoothies
A small handful can disappear easily into a fruit or green smoothie.
Top Soups After Cooking
Add broccoli microgreens just before serving rather than cooking them for a long period.
Add Them to Tacos
They work beautifully with beans, avocado, tomatoes, corn, salsa, and plant-based proteins.
Eat Them Straight From the Container
Sometimes simple is best.
Grab a small handful and enjoy them alongside your meal.
How Much Broccoli Microgreens Should I Eat?
There is no single required serving of broccoli microgreens.
A practical place to start is approximately:
¼ to ½ cup added to a meal
You can use more or less depending on your preferences and the meal.
Consistency matters more than trying to consume a huge amount at once.
A handful on your breakfast.
A handful in your lunch.
A handful with dinner.
Small habits can make eating more plants surprisingly easy.
Broccoli Microgreens vs. Mature Broccoli
Both deserve a place on your plate.
Mature broccoli gives you the familiar florets and stalks that work beautifully in cooked meals.
Broccoli microgreens offer a different experience:
Broccoli Microgreens
- Tender young leaves and stems
- Mild flavor
- No cooking required
- Easy to add to finished meals
- Naturally rich in cruciferous phytochemicals
- Convenient for everyday use
Mature Broccoli
- Larger florets and stalks
- More substantial texture
- Commonly cooked
- Excellent source of fiber and nutrients
- Great for entrées, soups, stir-fries, and side dishes
You do not have to choose one or the other.
Eating plants at different stages of growth can simply add more diversity to your diet.
Broccoli Microgreens vs. Broccoli Sprouts
Although the names are sometimes used interchangeably, broccoli sprouts and broccoli microgreens are not exactly the same.
Broccoli Sprouts
Sprouts are typically harvested only a few days after germination and are generally grown without soil or a growing medium.
You usually eat the seed, root, stem, and developing leaves.
Broccoli Microgreens
Microgreens grow longer until their stems and first leaves have developed.
They are harvested above the growing medium, so you primarily eat the tender stems and leaves.
Both are young broccoli plants, but they are harvested at different stages.
At Loving My Greens, we grow broccoli microgreens.
Freshness Matters
Microgreens are at their best when they are fresh.
That is why Loving My Greens operates differently from greens that may travel long distances through warehouses and distribution centers before reaching your refrigerator.
Our broccoli microgreens are grown locally and harvested around your delivery schedule.
That means less time sitting in transit and more time where fresh greens belong:
In your kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Broccoli Microgreens
Are broccoli microgreens the same as broccoli sprouts?
No. They are different stages of the broccoli plant.
Sprouts are harvested earlier and typically include the seed and root. Microgreens grow longer until their stems and first leaves develop and are harvested above the growing medium.
What do broccoli microgreens taste like?
Broccoli microgreens have a mild, fresh broccoli flavor with a slightly earthy cruciferous note. They are generally much milder than spicy microgreens such as radish or mustard.
Can I eat broccoli microgreens raw?
Yes. Broccoli microgreens are commonly enjoyed raw in salads, sandwiches, wraps, smoothies, bowls, and as toppings.
Do broccoli microgreens contain sulforaphane?
Broccoli microgreens contain glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate that can be converted into sulforaphane through enzymatic activity when the plant tissue is disrupted through actions such as chewing.
Researchers have also directly measured sulforaphane in fresh broccoli microgreens.
Should I cook broccoli microgreens?
You can use them in warm dishes, but they do not need to be cooked.
For texture and freshness, we usually recommend adding them after cooking or just before serving.
How much should I eat?
There is no universal required serving.
