A strong brassica broccoli flavor that goes a long way on the pallet. Use broccoli microgreens on anything that calls for lettuce, broccoli or sprouts.

Growing Directions:

Prepare medium by moistening it and tamping it if needed. Spread seeds evenly across the surface and make sure seeds are moist by spraying them down before covering. Place in an area of your home with good airflow and is at roughly room temperature (70° F). Takes between 2 to 3 days to germinate. Then, it is time to uncover and place under a grow light. When growing broccoli as a microgreen, there may be a chance that both the medium and the germinating seeds will emit a farm-like smell, but this is normal of brassica seeds, especially broccoli.
