Nutrition Authority

ChefPax Mix is a blend of multiple microgreen varieties — including brassica crops such as broccoli, kohlrabi, kale, cabbage, and purple radish, alongside buckwheat and texsel greens — selected for complementary flavor, texture, and phytochemical diversity. The brassica-dominant composition draws on one of the most studied crop families in microgreen nutrition research.

What the evidence supports

  • Brassica microgreens have been studied for elevated glucosinolate and sulforaphane precursor content relative to mature vegetables.

    moderate evidence
  • A blend of brassica varieties and complementary greens provides a broader range of phytochemical types than any single crop alone.

    moderate evidence
  • Nutrient and phytochemical levels across microgreen varieties vary by species, seed source, light exposure, and harvest timing.

    strong evidence
