Broccoli Microgreens – Mild, Mighty & Packed with Sulforaphane
Broccoli microgreens may look delicate, but don’t be fooled — these tiny greens are bursting with powerful nutrients and health-enhancing compounds. Grown fresh in Bude, Cornwall, our broccoli microgreens are perfect for anyone looking to eat clean, fuel their body, and add colour and nutrition to every meal.
What Are Broccoli Microgreens?
Broccoli microgreens are the young seedlings of the broccoli plant, harvested just 7–10 days after germination. At this early stage, they contain a higher concentration of nutrients than the mature plant, making them a smart and efficient way to boost your diet. Their flavour is mild and slightly peppery, which makes them easy to enjoy in a wide variety of dishes — even for children or fussy eaters.
How We Grow Them
At Cornish Greens, our microgreens are grown using Ecothrive Coco Lite as a clean, sustainable growing medium. We use filtered water and full-spectrum LED lighting to simulate ideal growing conditions — no soil, no pesticides, and no synthetic fertilisers. The result is a safe, consistent product grown fresh to order, right here in North Cornwall.
The Sulforaphane Advantage
One of the standout features of broccoli microgreens is their exceptionally high levels of sulforaphane — a natural plant compound linked to numerous science-backed benefits. According to clinical studies, sulforaphane may help to:
- Enhance cellular detoxification and remove harmful compounds from the body
- Boost liver function and overall metabolic health
- Reduce inflammation and support immune resilience
- Offer protection against certain cancers by promoting healthy cell activity
The NHS and the BBC Food guide on microgreens both highlight how incorporating nutrient-dense greens like broccoli microgreens can contribute to your 5-a-day and support a balanced diet.
More Than Just Sulforaphane
Broccoli microgreens are also rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including:
- Vitamin A – supports eye health and immune function
- Vitamin C – a powerful antioxidant that boosts skin and collagen
- Vitamin K – important for bone health and wound healing
- Calcium, Iron, and Fibre – vital for daily wellbeing and gut health
All of this packed into a fresh, crunchy green that you can enjoy raw or lightly cooked. They’re proof that the most powerful foods often come in the smallest packages.
Easy to Use in Everyday Meals
Because of their subtle flavour, broccoli microgreens are incredibly versatile. Try them:
- As a garnish on soups, curries, or stews
- Mixed into fresh salads or grain bowls
- Blended into smoothies for a stealthy nutrient hit
- Stuffed into wraps, sandwiches or sushi rolls
- Stirred into pasta dishes or scrambled eggs
They’re a great option for boosting nutrition without overpowering your dish. Whether you’re cooking for a health-focused adult or a picky toddler, they blend right in.

Storage Tips
Store your microgreens in the fridge in a sealed container with a dry paper towel inside to keep them crisp. When properly stored, they stay fresh for up to 7 days. For best results, open the container once a day to let it breathe. This helps maintain texture and reduce excess moisture. See our microgreen storage guide for more tips and tricks.
