Are broccoli microgreens nutritious?

Broccoli microgreens are notably high in glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphane — a compound studied for its antioxidant properties. Research by Fahey et al. (1997) found broccoli sprouts and seedlings contained 10–100x higher glucoraphanin concentrations than mature broccoli.
