KNOW YOUR MICROGREENS - 🌿MICRO BROCCOLI🌿

What is Sulforaphane?
-Sulforaphane can reduce inflammation in the respiratory pathways and the symptoms of asthma.

-The sulforaphane and carotenoids in broccoli contain powerful oxidants that heal the damage to our eyes’ retinal cells.
-At least one study has shown that eating broccoli microgreens may help prevent colon cancer and possibly other cancers.

✅ They’re richer in macro minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium

What are the top 4 microgreens that we specialise in growing?

4. Radish

One of the things we love most about these 4 varieties (other than the countless health benefits) is that they’re so easy to use!
