Mustard Microgreens

Mustard microgreens are one of the most biochemically potent brassica greens due to their exceptionally high glucosinolate content — sulfur compounds that convert into isothiocyanates when consumed. These compounds are studied for their ability to stimulate detoxification enzymes, particularly glutathione-S-transferase — a key enzyme involved in processing toxins and carcinogenic compounds. Mustard microgreens also exhibit antimicrobial properties and have been explored for their role in supporting immune defense and microbial balance within the body. Their peppery flavor profile reflects their metabolic potency — signaling the presence of active plant defense compounds that support human detoxification and inflammatory regulation. Often used in functional nutrition protocols, mustard microgreens help “activate” detox pathways when paired with other brassica greens like broccoli and kale.
