Broccoli sprouts are 3–5-day-old broccoli plants.
Like most sprouts, they have small, green leaves and white stems that are a few inches long and still attached to the seed. For reference, they resemble alfalfa sprouts.
Most people describe their taste as earthy, similar to that of radishes. Meanwhile, others claim that they have no flavor at all.
How to eat broccoli Sprouts?
Microgreens have this special effect to instantly upgrade your cooking to a Michelin Star restaurant's dish.
Remove the sprouts from the base using a scissor to trim. You can eat the leaves and stem. Enjoy the slight spiciness of the mustard cress and it's aroma.
Broccoli sprouts are typically enjoyed raw to add texture and crunch to dishes like sandwiches, salads, dressings, and wraps. You can also cook them and enjoy them in a warm meal like stir-fries or curries.
Why are broccoli sprouts special?
While broccoli sprouts are the first stages of the broccoli plant, they’re not nutritionally identical to the mature vegetable.
A 3-ounce (84-gram) serving of cooked, mature broccoli florets or broccoli sprouts provide virtually the same calories and macronutrients, meaning the same amount of protein, carbs, and fat.
However, broccoli sprouts provide around 100 times more glucoraphanin. Glucoraphanin is an inactive compound that’s converted into the beneficial phytochemical sulforaphane upon cutting or chewing.

Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale. It has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential health benefits.
