Broccoli as a microgreen is an incredible source of protein, and they are just super delicious. You can use this microgreen in most dishes or just as a nice side dish.

Broccoli belongs to the cabbage family (Brassicaceae, genus Brassica). It comes from Italy and has been considered a valuable food product since Roman times. It was even called "Italian asparagus".
The stems and flower buds are eaten both raw and boiled. Since they are not fully grown, they are softer and more tender compared to the adult version. Broccoli is considered a microgreen when it is 10 to 14 days old in the plant life phase.
Broccoli is a great support for our immune system. It has the same amount of vitamin C as lemons and twice as much as spinach. Broccoli is also rich in vitamin A, which improves eyesight, is good for the skin and supports many of the body's systems in general.
Broccoli microgreens are one of the easiest to grow.
These superfoods start to lose their nutritional value quickly after harvest. The longer the time between harvesting and eating, the less nutrients are retained in vegetables. So enjoy the fresh ones!
You can use broccoli microgreens in a wide variety of dishes.
Eat raw and place it on a sandwich, soup, salads, or just as a pretty decoration.
If you don't want to eat it raw, you can steam it or fry it.
When you cook broccoli over very low heat for only about 5 minutes, all the nutrients will be retained.
