Microgreen Team
It is our mission to educate as many people as possible on these amazing greens. Learn about the Benefits on this page. Microgreens are young seedlings of greens or herbs that are packed with nutrients, minerals, vitamins and high levels of active compounds. They are typically harvested between 7-18 days and though small in size, micro greens are tender and offer some intense flavors. Microgreens Provide a Super Rich Nutrient Content – 5 - 40 x More than Mature Plants. Microgreens from the Brassica family, which include broccoli, contain high levels of vitamin E, a phenolic antioxidant. Asteraceae microgreens, such as chicory and lettuce, appear to be high in vitamin A, or carotenoid antioxidants. Microgreens are packed with NUTRIENTS. While their nutrient contents vary slightly, most varieties tend to be rich in potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium and copper. What’s more, their nutrient content is concentrated, which means that they often contain far higher vitamin and mineral levels than the same quantity of mature greens. These nutrients can help with managing weight, boosting both mental and physical health and well-being and preventing a range of diseases including Heart Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, Diabetes and Certain Cancers. Microgreens can offer all of these benefits and possibly more.
