broccoli sprouts
Baby green florets
Broccoli sprouts are the young shoots of the broccoli plant, harvested just days after germination.
They look like alfalfa sprouts but taste mildly peppery, like broccoli.
Often eaten raw in salads and sandwiches, they gained popularity after research suggested they contain concentrated levels of certain nutrients.
