Some foods are just superior.  One might say, the superheroes of foods.  Get the green cape ready because broccoli sprouts are here to stay.  Thanks to a phytochemical called sulforaphane.  Sulforaphane gives broccoli sprouts is super powers.  Regular broccoli has sulforaphane too but the sprouts can have up to 100 times more.

Simply put, broccoli sprouts have a number of health benefits.

Tara’s Tips For Perfect Broccoli Sprout Pesto:

  • Make your own sprouts if you can, it’s easy!
  • I used fresh spinach in this recipe, don’t use the frozen kind if you can avoid it.
  • This pesto is dairy-free, thanks to nutritional yeast.  New to nutritional yeast? Start here: Nutritional Yeast 101.
  • Yep, it’s oil-free.  You won’t miss the oil, I promise!
  • Not into walnuts? Use sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, pistachios or pine nuts!
