Broccoli Cress

Broccoli Cress is a vibrant, nutrient-rich microgreen that brings a fresh, mild broccoli flavor with subtle cabbage undertones to various dishes. Being part of the Brassica family, which includes broccoli and cabbage, its flavor is milder and sweeter compared to its full-grown counterparts.

Known for its tender texture, it’s a versatile addition to any meal. The versatility makes it suitable for a range of culinary uses, from raw preparations in fresh salads to cooking in dishes like stir-fries and even smoothies, where its fresh flavor can really shine.

Broccoli Cress is a highly versatile living microgreen that can be used in a variety of dishes, making it a perfect addition to any kitchen. Its mild fresh broccoli and cabbage flavor allows it to seamlessly integrate into both savory and creative recipes.

A simple yet effective way to use Broccoli Cress is as a garnish for salads, sandwiches, wraps, and burgers, where it adds a pop of color and a light, refreshing bite. It can also be sprinkled on top of soups, pasta, and grain bowls, providing flavor contrast and extra texture.

Broccoli Cress can be blended into smoothies for a nutritious boost, without overpowering the other ingredients. It pairs particularly well with fruits like apple, pear, and citrus, balancing out the sweetness with its fresh, earthy flavor.

Broccoli Cress is a nutritional powerhouse packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that make it a great addition to a healthy diet. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, this living microgreen supports immune health, improves skin and vision, and promotes bone health. Vitamin C, a key antioxidant, helps protect cells from damage and supports collagen production, while Vitamin K is essential for bone health and proper blood clotting.

Broccoli Cress also contains important minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium. Calcium is vital for strong bones and teeth, while iron supports red blood cell production and energy levels. Potassium helps maintain healthy blood pressure and supports heart function.

One of the most notable compounds is sulforaphane, a powerful antioxidant found in cruciferous vegetables. Sulforaphane has been linked to various health benefits, including its potential cancer-fighting properties and its ability to reduce inflammation. The fiber content in these microgreens promotes digestive health, supports a balanced gut microbiome, and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Our living microgreens, Broccoli Cress, are grown and distributed in clean, natural fiber and come in a cress tray to ensure their longevity and freshness. Keep them in a cool place, either on the kitchen counter or in the refrigerator, to maintain optimal quality.
