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.
