Broccoli Microgreens are one of our favorite micros to grow. They are not only delicious but they are incredibly healthy too! They are up to 40 times more nutrient dense than mature broccoli, They are 7 times more anti inflammatory than turmeric, and That's not even the best part!

Ever heard of Sulforaphane?
Studies done by Dr. Paul Talalay at John Hopkin’s University state that sulforaphane stimulates and releases the production of enzymes in our bodies that detoxify cancer-causing substances, and that it’s anticarcinogenic.

Sulforaphane also has anti-diabetic effects for those with type 2 diabetes and improves hemoglobin A1c. Dr. Talalay’s studies also found that sulforaphane lowered fasting blood sugar levels by 6.5% and supports heart health by reducing inflammation that leads to heart disease.

***Broccoli microgreens can contain up to 100x the sulforaphane concentration when compared to mature full-grown broccoli.***

Here are just a few of the many articles/publications you can find about how incredibly awesome broccoli microgreens are!

Great video! What is the shelf life of fresh cut microgreens in the fridge?

[Kitty_cat_hello.]

Do you still sell at $5 a container or have your prices gone up? I’m debating on whether or not to sell for $5 or $6.

Hi there. When filling your 10x20 trays with soil. How much soil are you putting in these trays? From the video seems to be almost flush with the top of the tray? Thank you 🤙🏼

Which variety of Broccoli do you use? I’ve been trying Raab Broccoli (a sprouting broccoli type) but don’t see harvest weights like those.

A minute in, okay the shaker is genius! I think I oversowed mine before watching video😅

[Mantras-and-Mystics]

That shaker is such a good idea! (me with seed clumps all over the place) 🤣
Edit: Can you reuse the soil?

I just tried growing broccoli. I seeded radish, sunflower, peas and broccoli at the same time. Broccoli was ready at day 7. Really impressed. I soaked sunflower and peas for 24 hours before seeding. I always thought that radish was the easiest to grow but I think broccoli is faster to grow.

I like them in my Sandwiches instead of Lettuce
