In the field of broccoli-derived raw materials and sprout applications, the quality of the seed itself often determines the foundation for downstream product development.

Jiuzhen No. 1 is a high-glucoraphanin broccoli F1 hybrid variety developed by Yunnan Jiuzhen Biotechnology under plateau growing conditions. Designed around the needs of high content, stability, and large-scale application, Jiuzhen No. 1 is mainly positioned for extraction, broccoli sprout cultivation, and high-content raw material development.

1. What Is Jiuzhen No. 1?

Jiuzhen No. 1 is also commonly referred to as the Yunnan Jiuzhen high-glucosinolate variety. As an F1 hybrid broccoli variety, it was bred in the plateau regions of Kunming and Yuxi, Yunnan, at an altitude of approximately 2,000 meters.

For companies engaged in deep processing using broccoli seeds as raw materials, variety selection is a key factor. High active compound content, stability, and suitability for large-scale cultivation are all important indicators of industrial value.

Jiuzhen No. 1 was developed and positioned precisely around these core requirements.

2. Key Parameters of Jiuzhen No. 1

The current key indicators of Jiuzhen No. 1 include:

• Glucoraphanin content in dry seeds: 10,000–12,000 mg/kg, equivalent to 1.0%–1.2%
• CNAS official test result: 11,300 mg/kg
• Sprout conversion rate: 75%–85%
• Variety type: F1 hybrid
• Main applications: extraction, broccoli sprout cultivation, and high-content raw materials

These parameters show that Jiuzhen No. 1 is suitable not only for broccoli seed extraction applications, but also for sprout-related uses, providing a stronger raw material foundation for further product development and commercialization.

3. Why Is Jiuzhen No. 1 Worth Attention?

The development of broccoli-related products ultimately depends on the raw material itself. Whether the seed has a high baseline glucoraphanin content, stable performance, and suitability for large-scale cultivation is a key concern for the industry.

Publicly available information indicates that broccoli seeds are one of the raw material forms with relatively high glucoraphanin content, making them an important basis for extraction and high-content ingredient development.

Against this background, the value of Jiuzhen No. 1 can be seen in three main aspects.

First, it has a clearly defined high-content foundation. Jiuzhen No. 1 dry seeds contain 10,000–12,000 mg/kg of glucoraphanin, with a CNAS official test result of 11,300 mg/kg, providing a solid basis for high-content raw material development.

Second, it supports multiple application directions. Jiuzhen No. 1 can be used for extraction, broccoli sprout cultivation, and high-content raw material development, giving it clear and practical application scenarios.

Third, it is bred under plateau conditions with an emphasis on stability and scalability. Developed in the Yunnan plateau environment, Jiuzhen No. 1 is designed to support stable performance, strong adaptability, and large-scale industrial application.

4. Where Does Jiuzhen No. 1 Stand in the Market?

Based on currently available comparative data, Jiuzhen No. 1 has reached a relatively high level compared with international high-glucoraphanin varieties.

Public comparison data includes:

• Cal-101, United States: 12,000–15,000 mg/kg
• ExtraBroc®, Japan: 11,000–13,000 mg/kg
• Jiuzhen No. 1, Yunnan: 10,000–12,000 mg/kg

According to the currently available comparable data, the glucoraphanin content of Jiuzhen No. 1 is close to the range of international high-content varieties. It is also one of the representative commercial high-glucoraphanin broccoli varieties in China.

5. From Variety to Industry: What Does Jiuzhen No. 1 Represent?

For business customers, the value of a variety lies not only in laboratory data, but also in whether it can support stable supply and industrial application.

In the broccoli seed-related sector, Yunnan Jiuzhen Biotechnology has already established a solid industrial foundation. The company currently operates 2,500 mu of breeding and cultivation bases, with an annual output of more than 400 tons of high-quality broccoli seeds. It also has production capacity for broccoli seed aqueous extract, broccoli sprouts, and freeze-dried sprout powder.

This means that Jiuzhen No. 1 is not merely the name of a single variety. It represents a fundamental capability supporting raw material development, sprout applications, and industrial collaboration.

Looking ahead, Jiuzhen Biotechnology has a clear long-term vision for industrial development. With Jiuzhen No. 1 as the core variety, the company will continue to develop plateau-featured biological resources. By 2027, our goal is to establish a 10,000-mu broccoli industrial belt in the Jinsha River Basin, promoting large-scale and standardized cultivation of this variety.

Through this effort, we aim to make high-quality broccoli seeds and related products available to more industry partners and contribute to the high-quality development of the broccoli raw material industry.

6. Why Do We Continue to Invest in High-Content Variety Breeding?

For the broccoli-related industry, the variety is the starting point and also one of the most critical factors.

From the raw material perspective, high content, stability, and sustainable supply determine the upper limit of downstream extraction, sprout development, and product application.

With this in mind, Yunnan Jiuzhen Biotechnology continues to promote the breeding, propagation, and application transformation of high-glucoraphanin broccoli varieties. Our goal is to turn high-quality seeds into a stable industrial raw material foundation.

Jiuzhen No. 1 is one of the important achievements in this direction.

7. Conclusion

From plateau breeding and high-content raw material potential to industrial application, Jiuzhen No. 1 represents far more than the name of a broccoli variety. It reflects our continuous investment and long-term accumulation in the field of broccoli seed raw materials.

In the future, we will continue to focus on high-glucoraphanin broccoli seeds, broccoli sprouts, and related products, promoting the continuous development from variety to raw material, and from raw material to application.
