Powerfull Broccoli

There are several varieties of broccoli available, we stock raab and calabrese seed. As sprouts or microgreens they look and taste very similar but as fully grown plants they are actually quite different.

Broccoli calabrese is the more common broccoli you see in the supermarkets, the round headed vegetable shaped like a small tree, broccoli raab on the other hand is much leafier with smaller little individual heads and harder to find in the shops (not to be mistaken for tender stem broccoli or broccolini as that is also referred to).

Another notable difference is the anti-oxidant sulforaphane, broccoli calabrese contains ten times more sulforphane than the raab variety.

Broccoli microgreens have up to 40 times the amount of vitamins and minerals of their fully grown counterparts. Rich in minerals and anti-oxidants and sulforaphane, they are considered a valuable additive to the diet.

But things this good for you can be tasty too, broccoli microgreens can be juiced or added to sandwiches, stir frays etc or used as part of a salad, this recipe is super quick, super tasty and super nutritious.
