Pick a crop, set your serving, and see what that portion carries. Every figure here is printed on that crop's Microgreens World guide page. The full measured record, every published value with its growing conditions, is in each guide.
Brassica oleracea var. italica
A measured 16 gram serving, tracked through eleven people. Also the wateriest of seventeen species, and the grown crown still beats it on vitamin C.
Vitamin C
9.8 to 15.8 mg
10.9 to 17.6% DV in 20 g
Three trials
Sulfur
13.8 mg
No Daily Value set
17-species trial, Florida
The bar shows how much of the Daily Value one serving gives you. Only some nutrients have a Daily Value set by the FDA, such as vitamin C, vitamin K, calcium, iron and protein, so the others show the amount with no bar. Each lab also grew the crop differently, so compare figures within a trial, never across.
| Measured | As printed | In 20 g | % DV | Where that sits | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C | 49.02 to 79.11 mg per 100 g, three labs | 9.8 to 15.8 mg | 10.9 to 17.6% | A good source at 20 g, not a high-in. The grown crown carries more, gram for gram, in all three labs. | Three trials |
| Sulfur | 69.17 mg per 100 g | 13.8 mg | n/a | 4th of 17. The three above it are cabbage-family cousins: red cabbage 81.79, kale 76.97, radish 75.40. | 17-species trial, Florida |
| Glucoraphanin, held cold | 13.6 µmol per g, six days after harvest | n/a | n/a | 12.8 one day after harvest, 13.6 six days after: no significant change. One study. | Ohio serving study, 2023 |
| Dry matter | 38.55 g per kg | n/a | n/a | Lowest mean of 17. Sunflower carried 94.34. Three other labs found 4.8 to 7.9 per cent. | 17-species trial, Florida |
| Fresh yield | 1,461 g per m² | n/a | n/a | 4th of 17. Radish reached 2,258.8. | 17-species trial, Florida |
Variety guide No. 01
This is the headline set. The Broccoli guide carries the full measured record, every published value with its growing conditions, plus the six questions buyers ask and the words to answer them.

Sulfur, dry matter and yield: one seventeen-species trial on felt mats under Florida greenhouse daylight, no micronutrient feed, cut at eleven days, no cultivar named. Glucoraphanin: the 'EM' variety grown by 80 Acres Farms in Ohio, cut at ten days. Vitamin C: three labs, three growing systems.

These crops are in the library's plan but not yet read to table level, so the calculator carries no figures for them. Each links to its research post or the library.
Figures describe what has been measured in the plant. Nothing here is a claim that any food treats, prevents, eases or cures any condition.
