Fatty Seeds – Broccoli Sprout (Microgreen)
Broccoli Sprout Microgreens are fast-growing, nutrient-rich young greens known for their tender leaves, crisp texture and mild, slightly peppery flavour. They contain vitamins, minerals and naturally occurring plant compounds, including glucosinolates, which are precursors to sulforaphane. Commonly used in salads, sandwiches, smoothies and garnishes, they add a fresh and nutritious touch to everyday meals. Easy to grow in small trays or containers, Broccoli Sprout Microgreens are ideal for beginners and indoor gardening.
Planting Guidelines:
-
Evenly spread the seeds over a shallow tray filled with moist, well-draining soil or a suitable microgreen growing medium. Gently press the seeds onto the surface to ensure good contact. Pre-soaking is optional. Mist lightly with water and cover the tray during the initial germination stage.
-
Seeds typically germinate within 2–4 days, and the microgreens can be ready for harvesting in approximately 7–10 days. Harvest when the seedlings reach approximately 4–6cm tall and have developed their seed leaves. Use clean scissors to cut the stems just above the growing medium.
-
Broccoli Sprout Microgreens grow best in bright, indirect sunlight with good air circulation. In Singapore's warm climate, avoid prolonged exposure to intense afternoon sunlight. Water regularly to keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid excessive watering to prevent mould growth.
