Broccoli belongs to the Brassicaceae family of plants, the same as arugula, radish, cauliflower, and cabbage. Microgreens from this family of plants are best known for their anti-cancer benefits due to their high levels of cancer-fighting nutrients like glucosinolates and sulforaphane. They are also a wonderful source of fiber which is beneficial for a healthy digestive system.

• Broccoli microgreens can ease digestion : Their high amounts of insoluble fiber help clear out the digestive tract by sweeping through it and collecting unwanted materials such as toxins and undigested food material
• One study found that sulforaphane inhibits breast cancer stem cells. It has also been shown to be effective in prostate cancer, oral cancer, skin cancer, colon cancer, and bladder cancer. So consuming broccoli microgreens regularly can help you fight against common cancers affecting most people today.
• Broccoli microgreens can also prevent stomach ulcers and protect against infections such as E. coli, salmonella, and shigella
• Vitamin C and folic acid in broccoli microgreens can help improve overall mood and contributed to lower anxiety symptoms.
• Broccoli microgreens are rich in tryptophan, an essential amino acid that helps boost serotonin levels that promote visual cognition, learning, memory skills, and aggression control.
• Broccoli microgreens are rich in sulforaphane, a sulfur-rich compound with powerful health benefits, including promoting cardiovascular health and fighting heart disease.
• Sulforaphane contains antioxidant properties that help fight inflammation and cancel out free radicals that may cause oxidative stress. Both inflammation and oxidation are risk factors for heart disease.
• Broccoli microgreens are rich in nitrates, which are broken down to release nitric oxide. Nitric oxide plays an important role in dilating and relaxing blood vessels, allowing for a more effective blood flow throughout the body and prevents plaque formation within the vessels and blood clots that may trigger heart attacks and strokes.
• Broccoli is a rich source of glucoraphanin, a compound with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, consuming broccoli microgreens can help boost your immune system.
• Broccoli microgreens are a natural energy booster. They are rich in vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Iron deficiency can cause fatigue and lead to anemia, which can be prevented by consuming broccoli microgreens regularly. They also contain high levels of chlorophyll, which helps cleanse your body from toxins and speeds up your metabolism. This can increase your energy levels.
• Broccoli microgreens are loaded with carotenoids, including zeaxanthin and lutein, that help keep your eyes healthy.
