Broccoli’s nutrient profile contains many of the same vitamins and minerals that the others do- Vitamins A, B, C, E and K. Minerals include calcium, magnesium and potassium. What propels it to one of the top microgreens in terms of health benefits is its high sulforaphane content. Sulforaphane is a phytochemical whose benefits include inflammation reduction, toxin neutralization and DNA protection through the process of blocking mutations that lead to cancer.
Broccoli presents with darker green cotyledons (first leaves) and has a fresh, tender and crunchy texture with a mild mixed flavor reminiscent of cabbage and broccoli.
