Broccoli is known as the powerhouse sprout. In 1998, John Hopkins University declared broccoli other crucifer sprouts to be particularly high in sulforaphane, a glucosinate shown to have a variety of health benefits. Sulforaphane is a chemical compound normally found in broccoli and other vegetables such as cabbage and Brussel sprouts. 

Research surrounding sulforaphane has shown that the compound can target the multiplying of cancer cells. For that reason, some believe it is somewhat effective in preventing cancer and other health conditions.

It’s important to note as well that you should sustain from heating or cooking broccoli microgreens because sulforaphane is a heat-sensitive compound. 

In addition to sulforaphane, broccoli microgreens are also high in vitamins A, C, and K, protein, and are preventative towards a number of health conditions including Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis and cancer prevention. 

“Broccoli is loaded with compounds that are believed to protect against cancer. Observational studies suggest that the consumption of cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, is linked to a reduced risk of many cancers, including lung, colorectal, breast, prostate, pancreatic, and gastric cancers.”
