Our broccoli microgreens deliver a mild, fresh flavor rich in sulforaphane, grown and cut fresh at our Lineville, Alabama farm.
Fresh broccoli is sweeter and more tender than store-bought, delicious steamed, roasted, or raw. We grow ours without synthetic pesticides in Lineville, Alabama and pick at peak ripeness. It's a nutrient powerhouse rich in vitamin C, K, and fiber. Available in 2 oz and 4 oz clamshells, cut fresh to order.
No hardiness zone on this one — it's harvested and sold to eat, not to plant. If you're after the plant itself rather than the crop, check our starters and herb plants.
Does it taste like broccoli?
Faintly, and much milder. There is a clean green cabbage note and a little sweetness, without the sulphur that cooked broccoli develops. Most people who dislike mature broccoli have no trouble with these.
Is this the same as a broccoli sprout?
No. Sprouts are germinated in water and eaten whole, seed and root included. These are grown in soil under light and cut above the root, so what you get is stem and cotyledon only.
Can I cook it?
Residual heat only - stirred into something hot off the burner. Direct heat reduces it to nothing.
Is it local?
Yes. Grown and cut in Lineville, Alabama, sold through local Alabama delivery, farm pickup and farmers markets.

A plant in a dark box is on a clock. Shipping early in the week means it reaches you before the weekend instead of sitting in a warehouse from Friday to Monday. It costs us a day or two of lead time and saves a lot of plants.
Practically: an order placed Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or over the weekend goes out the following Monday. We'd rather tell you that now than let you find it in a tracking number.
Typical ground transit from Lineville, Alabama after the ship day. Estimates, not guarantees — weather and carrier backlogs happen.
Tracking is emailed the moment your box is scanned.
A little leaf drop or travel stress is normal and usually sorts itself out within a week or two of settling in. If a plant arrives genuinely damaged, email support@wadegreens.com within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the plant and the box, and we'll make it right.
The facts that decide whether it takes root, in the order that matters.
Sunlight
Full Sun (6+ hrs)
Six or more hours of direct sun. With less it stretches toward the light and flowering thins out.
Water
High
Keep the soil consistently damp. It wilts fast and does not always come back from a hard dry-out.
Mature Size
Under 1 ft
Where it settles once established. Plan the spacing for this, not for the size it arrives at.
Foliage
Herbaceous
Soft-stemmed. It dies back to the ground and returns from the roots — the top going brown is the plan, not a failure.
